We bring together Earth scientists, mathematicians and engineers to exchange knowledge on mathematical and computational methods that are important in the Earth sciences. The plan is to create a comfortable environment to promote open and honest discussions, which in turn spark new ideas and collaborations. The group consists of scientists, engineers and mathematicians at SIO/UCSD and a few visitors from nearby institutions (Caltech, JPL and U. of Arizona).
HomeWe will spend two days together and the workshop is limited to 40 participants (email invite only, no walk-ins). Day one features a few talks (20 mins + discussion, mostly students and postdocs) and leaves ample room for open discussion. Day two features scientific talks, but the emphasis is on panel discussions (topics TBD during the workshop) and noon-baloons. Both days will feature longer keynote talks.
HomeThe broad theme of the CaCAO Days is numerical methods in Earth science. Relevant/represented Earth Science topics include: Climate, Ocean, Geomagnetics, Marine electromagnetic geophysics, Seismology, Geodynamics. Relevant numerical methods we will likely discuss include: Machine learning and AI, Optimization, Ensemble methods, Markov chain Monte Carlo, Reduced order modeling, Numerical linear algebra.
