Rarely do students working on multidisciplinary math/geophysics projects get the whole picture of the problem and hence a full understanding of it. This summer school is designed to begin overcoming this dual-mode, mathematics vs. geophysics, way of doing science by providing an environment that encourages the geoscientists to look more seriously at the theory and the mathematicians to look more seriously at the physics while learning to communicate in each others languages. To help reach this goal, basic tutorials will be prepared and presentations will be given by experts in the fields of mathematics and geophysics working on common problems. These will expose the participants to the current limitations in the application field and show the two groups how to communicate with one another. The 'capstone' experience of the school will be collaborative student projects that can't be completed without close collaboration between geophysics and mathematics students. These projects will be small research efforts directed at one of the themes presented in the overview talks. The student teams will be guided by two faculty mentors (a mathematician and a geoscientist) and will make a presentation to the school on the final day. While it is hoped that these team projects might be the seed of new research efforts, the primary goal is to give the students the experience of working closely with researchers having different background than their own, i.e. to teach them to do multidisciplinary science. Projects will be chosen that can not be completed without a serious collaborative effort. Geophysical porous media on scales ranging from the nano to the global will be the focus area. Most graduate students working on multidisciplinary projects focus on a piece of the project of relevance to their major field of study, either applied math or geophysics. For example, mathematics students tend to neglect or over simplify the physics so they can prove a theorem, while geophysics students tend to neglect mathematical rigor in their modeling efforts so they can get a better understanding of the real physics. This summer school is designed to begin overcoming this dual-mode way of doing science by providing an environment that encourages the geoscientists to look more seriously at the theory and the mathematicians to look more seriously at the physics while learning to communicate in each others languages.

致力于多学科数学/地球物理项目的学生很少能全面了解问题的全貌，从而对问题有全面的理解。这个暑期班旨在开始克服这种数学与地球物理的双重模式，通过提供一个环境，鼓励地球科学家更认真地看待理论，鼓励数学家更认真地看待物理学，同时学习用彼此的语言交流。为了帮助实现这一目标，将编写基本教程，数学和地球物理领域的专家将就常见问题发表演讲。这些将使参与者接触到应用程序领域的当前限制，并向两组人员展示如何相互沟通。该学院的“顶峰”经验将是合作的学生项目，如果没有地球物理和数学学生之间的密切合作，这些项目是无法完成的。这些项目将是针对概述会谈中提出的主题之一的小型研究工作。学生小组将由两名教师导师(一名数学家和一名地球科学家)指导，并在最后一天向学校做报告。虽然希望这些团队项目可能成为新研究工作的种子，但主要目标是让学生获得与具有不同背景的研究人员密切合作的经验，即教他们从事多学科的科学研究。将选择那些如果没有认真的合作努力就无法完成的项目。从纳米到全球尺度的地球物理多孔介质将是研究的重点领域。大多数从事多学科项目的研究生专注于与他们的专业领域相关的项目，要么是应用数学，要么是地球物理。例如，数学学生倾向于忽视或过度简化物理，以便证明一个定理，而地球物理专业的学生倾向于在建模工作中忽视数学严谨性，以便更好地理解真实的物理。这个暑期班旨在通过提供一个环境，鼓励地球科学家更认真地看待理论，鼓励数学家更认真地看待物理学，同时学习用彼此的语言交流，从而开始克服这种双重模式的科学研究方式。
