Description

From points of view ranging from science to public policy, interest in 
modeling and simulation of geosystems and their applications.  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.
