SIAM Activity Group on Geosciences
Welcome to SIAG GS
The SIAM Activity Group on Geosciences provides an interactive environment wherein modelers concerned with problems of the geosciences can share their problems with algorithm developers, applied mathematicians, numerical analysts, and other scientists.
Topics of interest include flow in porous media, multiphase flows, phase separation, wave propagation, combustion, channel flows, global and regional climate modeling, reactive flows, sedimentation and diagenesis, and rock fracturing. If you are a SIAM member interested in any of these application areas, please join us. SIAG GS is growing. We currently have over 320 members, up from 250 in 2005.
The highlight of our activities is our biennial conference. The last conferences were held in Leipzig (June 2009) and Santa Fe (March 2007) and were both well attended conferences with many stimulating presentations and discussions. The 2011 conference will be held in spring 2011 in the LA/Anaheim area.
Two of the key events of the 2009 conference were the prize ceremonies for both Mary Wheeler, who is the recipient of our first Career Award, and Jan Nordbotten, the recipient of our first Young Scientist award. Congratulations to both! We are delighted to have such distinguished and talented researchers in our midst. You can read an article on the prize ceremony with a short biography of each awardee in SIAM News [1]

The SIAM annual meeting 2010 is in Pittsburg, July 12-16. It is held jointly with the SIAM conference on Life Sciences. We hope that Geosciences will be well represented and are looking for volunteers to organize minisymposia. If you are a graduate student and would like to organize a minisymposium you are of course very welcome too. We have two or three minisymposia in the pipeline already, most in the area of subsurface flow.
The minisymposium submission is due by January 12, 2010 and consists of a title, a short description, and a list of four confirmed speakers along with titles of their presentations. The deadline for the speakers to submit their abstracts is February 2, 2010. For more information, including the minisymposium submission form, see http://www.siam.org/meetings/an10/.
SIAG GS prize committee: call for nominations
We will award a career prize and a young scientist prize at the Geosciences conferences in 2011. For an article on this year's prizes see http://www.siam.org/news/news.php?id=1629
Are you interested in serving on the Prize committee, or would you like to nominate a colleague to serve on this committee? Please send an email with suggestions to margot.gerritsen@stanford.edu
Student members and SIAM Student chapters
We'd like to increase the number of student members in the SIAG. If you advise graduate students that are not yet member of SIAG Geosciences, please let them know that they can join the activity group for free.
SIAM now has 68 (!) SIAM student chapter, see http://www.siam.org/students/chapters/current.php Many of the chapters organize seminars. If you are near one of these chapters, either through work or through travel, consider volunteering to give a seminar on your research in Geosciences. The chapters would be delighted to host you.
We can assist in coordinating such talks. Please send an email to margot.gerritsen@stanford.edu if you can volunteer. Graduate student members: please feel free to volunteer yourself too
Best wishes from your new 2009-2011 SIAG AG committee:
- Chair: Margot Gerritsen, margot.gerritsen@stanford.edu
- Vice-Chair: Jean Roberts, jean.roberts@inria.fr
- Program Director: Malgorzata Peszynska, mpesz@math.oregonstate.edu
