Colloquium or Seminar
Convection driven by gravitational instability is a widespread phenomenon in the geophysical fluid dynamics, dynamics of stars and planetary interiors. In contrast to the quasi-homogeneous small-scale turbulence, convection is distinguished by the cell-like coherent structure of the flow. Absence of … Continue reading

MPE Summer School
IIASA’s annual 3-month Young Scientists Summer Program (YSSP) offers research opportunities to talented young researchers whose interests correspond with IIASA’s ongoing research on issues of global environmental, economic and social change. From June through August accepted participants work within the … Continue reading
Workshop
Creating usable models for the sustainability of ecosystems has many mathematical challenges. Ecosystems are complex because they involve multiple interactions among organisms and between organisms and the physical environment, at multiple spatial and temporal scales, and with multiple feedback loops … Continue reading

Workshop
The Canadian landscape is dotted with thousands of lakes, mighty rivers and uncountable streams run through it, and three oceans border it. Continue reading
Workshop
Climate change is a significant and emerging threat to public health, and changes the way we must look at protecting vulnerable populations. Continue reading
Workshop
In epidemiology and ecology, models are typically developed along one of two directions: directly from available data, incorporating as much empirical records as possible, or conceptually as dynamical systems, incorporating data via estimation of parameters. Continue reading

Workshop
The issues outlined are broad and important, but initially progress must be made on more specific questions
that can be defined in ways amenable to mathematical treatments. The purpose of this BIRS workshop is to
generate, develop and apply new tools for the analysis of invasions and population distributions under
environmental change. Continue reading
Workshop
We propose to bring together ecologists and mathematicians with expertise in cyclic populations to discuss recent advances in our theoretical understanding of the causes and implications of population cycles from both the ecological and mathematical points of view. Continue reading
