-	From points of view ranging from science to public policy, there is burgeoning interest in modeling of geoscientific problems. Some examples 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.	+

-	This conference facilitates communication between scientists of varying backgrounds and work environments facing similar issues in different fields, and provides a forum in which advances in parts of the larger modeling picture can become known to those working in other parts. These kinds of interactions are needed for meaningful progress in understanding and predicting complex physical phenomena in the geosciences.	+

Revision as of 16:12, 17 July 2009

The 2009 SIAM Geosciences Conference was held from June 14 - 19, 2009, at the Helmholtz Center for Environmental Research in Leipzig, Germany. A complete program can be found at the conference website [1].

Amongst the highlights of the conference were the award ceremonies for the SIAG/GS Career Prize and the Young Scientist Prize. The recipient for the very first SIAG/GS Career Prize is Mary Wheeler and the first SIAG/GS Young Scientist Prize was awarded to Jan Nordbotten. See SIAM Geosciences Prizes for more details on the nomination and selection process.

Thanks to the conference committee and our colleagues at the Helmholtz Center for making the 2009 conference a resounding success!

Our next Geosciences Conference will be in the spring of 2011. The exact location is still being decided, but the conference will likely take place in the Western US.
