Title: Mathematics and Climate - Challenges for Dynamical Systems
Time: 2016-05-30 (Mon.)  14:00 - 15:00
Place: Room 202, Astro-Math. Building
Abstract: Mathematical models and statistical arguments play a central role in the assessment of the changes that are observed in Earth's climate system. While much of the discussion of climate change is focused on large-scale computational models, the theory of dynamical systems provides the language to distinguish natural variability from change. In this talk I will discuss some problems of current interest in climate science and indicate how, as mathematicians, we can find inspiration for new applications.
