GS19 — SIAM Conference on Mathematical & Computational Issues in the Geosciences

From science to public policy, there is a growing interest in modeling and simulation of geosystems and their applications. Example applications include petroleum exploration and recovery, underground waste disposal and cleanup of hazardous waste, earthquake prediction, weather prediction, and global climate change. Such modeling is fundamentally interdisciplinary; physical and mathematical modeling at appropriate scales, physical experiments, mathematical theory, probability and statistics, numerical approximations, and large-scale computational algorithms all have important roles to play.
