Special Session
Advances in computational resources from current and planned HPC systems have enabled Earth System models with finer spatial resolution and additional complexity than was supported by past systems. However, obtaining physically accurate yet efficient results requires both new model formulations (e.g. non-hydrostatic equations, realistic process coupling, or complex convection processes) and new methodologies (e.g. machine learning for improving/emulating parameterization schemes or domain specific languages for code refactoring/optimization). These new model approaches and methodologies in turn require new numerical techniques for the discretization of time, physical space, and parameter space to address issues of scalability and data storage on target HPC ecosystems, which include both CPUs and GPUs. This session will present progress on the new modeling approaches, numerical techniques, and data management strategies that will enable the Earth System models of the future. Continue reading

MPE Summer School
How do meteorologists forecast the weather and climate? Is there a way to predict the profit from a wind farm? These are some of the questions modern science addresses by using data assimilation. Many research institutes and companies (e.g. KNMI, Shell, US-NCAR or UK MetOffice) develop and employ data assimilation and the demand for trained personnel is constantly growing. The school will describe the theoretical foundation of data assimilation together with numerical tutorials, all the way to state-of-the-art methods, including modern machine learning approaches and their combination with data assimilation.
Data assimilation is the science of combining measurement data and computational models. It encompasses a large portfolio of methods at the crossroad between numerical analysis, linear algebra, statistics, dynamical systems and optimal control. Data assimilation is crucial in all circumstances where one wishes to make sense of a model against data and is therefore ubiquitous in science and in real life applications.
The summer school aims at covering the mathematical foundations of data assimilation and at describing the existing methods up to the advanced approaches currently being developed. In particular, the school will address variational and ensemble methods, nonlinear Bayesian techniques for high-dimensional systems and the modern hybrid approaches emerging from the cross-fertilization of data assimilation and machine learning.

Genes are transmitted randomly: this is why probability, a branch of mathematics, is used to model evolution within species. The lecture will give a non-technical overview of some models and explain the two-way interaction between mathematics and population genetics. Starting with the famous model of Wright-Fisher in the 1930’s, it will move to the revolutionary way of looking at evolution introduced by Kingman in 1982: instead of looking forward in time, we look backward! DNA data became available in the last decades and statistics now plays a crucial role in determining the ancestral trees back in time. A stunning application is the identification of hotspots of recombination, where chromosomes are more likely to break on reproduction. Continue reading

MPE Summer School
The new structure of power systems, with decentralized and highly variable production sources (renewable energies like wind or photovoltaic) and consumption sinks (accumulators, transport), challenges optimization methods for their management.
Pierre Carpentier (ENSTA ParisTech), Jean-Philippe Chancelier and Michel De Lara (École des Ponts ParisTech) have been working together for more than ten years at the Optimization and Systems Group at Cermics, the applied mathematics research center of École des Ponts ParisTech. Their central theme of investigation is about numerical methods in stochastic optimization. Their main application is the management of energy systems under uncertainty, in collaboration with industrial partners.
The course will present stochastic control theory, and extensions to more advanced topics, like risk constraints and informational constraints in large-scale systems. Courses will alternate with computer practical works. The main examples will be taken from dam management under uncertainty. However, the practical issues, the general theory and the numerical methods presented can be applied to other uncertain sources of energy (wind, solar) and, more generally, to the management of smart power systems.
The CIRM School Stochastic Control for the Management of Renewable Energies (STOCORE) is hosted by the Centre International de Rencontres Mathématiques (CIRM) at Marseille (South of France) between 8-12 April 2013.
The CIRM School STOCORE is in the realm and continuation of the Institut Henri Poincaré (IHP) trimester MABIES Mathematics of Bio-Economics (2013, January 7 – April 5), organized by Michel De Lara and Luc Doyen, itself a contribution to the Mathematics of Planet Earth – MPE2013 initiative.

The objectives of this workshop are:
(1) to bring together researchers to address emerging issues in non-Gaussian
multivariate statistical models and their application;
(2) to promote interactions and collaborations among researchers in Canada and around the world on two specific lines of research, namely multivariate skew-symmetric distributions and copula models;
(3) to explore the combination of multivariate skew-symmetric distributions and copulas to obtain tractable models with tail dependence and reflection tail asymmetry;
(4) to discuss ideas and future directions for developing realistic and useful non-Gaussian statistical models, with emphasis on their applications;
(5) to provide opportunities for graduate students and recent Ph.D. recipients to meet and interact with leading researchers in the area.
