Gene Golub SIAM Summer School 2012
Simulation and Supercomputing in the Geosciences
July 29–August 10, 2012
Monterey, California USA
http://www.mac.tum.de/g2s3The third Gene Golub SIAM Summer School, with a focus on computational geosciences, will take place in Monterey July 29 to August 10, 2012. We invite graduate students (working toward a M.Sc. or PhD or equivalent) from all countries and from all related disciplines to apply.
Natural hazards caused by storm surges, earthquakes, and tsunamis have exposed a large risk to modern societies in recent years. In order to mitigate these hazards, advanced simulation and computational techniques need to be employed for data analysis, early warning and planning purposes. G2S3 2012 will introduce students to cutting-edge simulation techniques for rapid assessment and accurate process studies of geoscientific problems involving a large range of relevant scales.
The summer school will be composed of three main mini-courses:
* Tsunami and Storm-Surge Simulations
* Numerical Methods for Wave Propagation
* Supercomputing in the Geosciences: From Multi- to Many-core Platforms
The primary lecturers for these courses will be:
* Michael Bader, Technische Universität München, Germany
* Jörn Behrens, University of Hamburg, Germany
* Francis X. Giraldo, Naval Postgraduate School, USA
* Randall J. LeVeque, University of Washington, USA
Additional guest presentations are planned.
Applicants selected to participate pay no registration fee. At least partial funding for local accommodations and meal expenses will be available for all participants. Limited travel funds may also be available.
Application deadline: February 1, 2012 For more details on the course and on how to apply:
