From Global Prediction to Local Action: A workshop proposal to bring climate scientists, economists and mathematicians together at the Joint Math Meetings in San Diego, Jan. 2008

该奖项将资助10名受邀演讲者和12名初级研究人员参加2008年1月在圣地亚哥举行的联合数学会议上关于“从全球预测到局部行动”的研讨会的旅费和当地费用。该研讨会是一个更大的倡议的一部分，该倡议旨在让数学界参与气候变化研究和培训。研讨会以两个小型研讨会和分组讨论为特色，并围绕SIAM的特邀演讲进行，演讲将由加州大学伯克利分校伯克利分校伯克利环境研究所联席主任、大气科学教授Inez Fung主持。组委会由鲍登学院和康奈尔大学的M.L.Zeeman、加州大学伯克利分校的I.Fung和北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校和华威大学的C.Jones组成。一份总结研讨会会议记录的报告将通过互联网散发。

ABSTRACTThis award will fund travel and local expenses of ten invited speakers and 12 junior researchers to attend a workshop on "From Global Prediction to Local Action," at the Joint Math Meetings in San Diego, Jan. 2008. The workshop is part of a larger initiative to engage the mathematics community in climate change research and training. The workshop features two minisymposia and discussions in break-out groups, and is programmed around the SIAM Invited Address, which will be given by Professor Inez Fung, Professor of Atmospheric Science and Co-Director Berkeley Institute of the Environment, UC Berkeley. The Organizing Committee consists of M. L. Zeeman (Bowdoin College and Cornell University), I. Fung (University of California, Berkeley), and C. Jones (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and University of Warwick). A report summarizing the workshop proceedings will be disseminated via the Internet.
