  • Jfr Mathematics for the Planet Earth
    SOME MATHEMATICAL ASPECTS OF THE PLANET EARTH José Francisco Rodrigues (University of Lisbon) Article of the Special Invited Lecture, 6th European Congress of Mathematics 3 July 2012, KraKow. The Planet Earth System is composed of several sub-systems: the atmosphere, the liquid oceans and the icecaps and the biosphere. In all of them Mathematics, enhanced by the supercomputers, has currently a key role through the “universal method" for their study, which consists of mathematical modeling, analysis, simulation and control, as it was re-stated by Jacques-Louis Lions in [L]. Much before the advent of computers, the representation of the Earth, the navigation and the cartography have contributed in a decisive form to the mathematical sciences. Nowadays the International Geosphere-Biosphere Program, sponsored by the International Council of Scientific Unions, may contribute to stimulate several mathematical research topics. In this article, we present a brief historical introduction to some of the essential mathematics for understanding the Planet Earth, stressing the importance of Mathematical Geography and its role in the Scientific Revolution(s), the modeling efforts of Winds, Heating, Earthquakes, Climate and their influence on basic aspects of the theory of Partial Differential Equations. As a special topic to illustrate the wide scope of these (Geo)physical problems we describe briefly some examples from History and from current research and advances in Free Boundary Problems arising in the Planet Earth. Finally we conclude by referring the potential impact of the international initiative Mathematics of Planet Earth (www.mpe2013.org) in Raising Public Awareness of Mathematics, in Research and in the Communication of the Mathematical Sciences to the new generations.

The motivation is at 2–3 Members’ News: Marta Sanz- Solé; David Brillinger; PK Sen; Elizaveta least two-fold. Firstly, we are not very widely involved in specialist meetings, and from Levina; Jerry Friedman; Samuel Kou; this point of view our scientific leadership can probably be enhanced. Secondly, in the Emily Berg; Wayne Fuller; Xuming He; area of short courses, there is an opportunity for both the IMS and its members to earn Jun Liu; Yajun Mei, Nicoleta Serban, a little extra income, by sharing the profits earned by delivering those courses. Roshan Joseph Vengazihiyil, Ming Yuan The best way in which to operate our short courses and short meetings will prob- ably be learned over time, but a few principles can be predicted in advance. In particu- 4 IMS 2010 Gothenburg meeting report & photos lar, the short courses and meetings should be held in places not in direct competition with relevant, major existing conferences, for example the Joint Statistical Meetings. Of 6 Peking University’s Center course, there are many opportunities for avoiding clashes such as these. The concept of for Statistical Science “IMS Winter Workshops” in North America, perhaps held in early January in southern 7 Conference in memory of US, is only one suggestion.
