Prof. Pierre Lermusiaux has been invited to give a webinar on 19 January 2022, 7:30am EST about “Bayesian Learning of High-Dimensional Dynamical Models” for the AI Chair OceaniX webinar series.

Graduate student Chinmay Kulkarni and Prof. Pierre Lermusiaux presented some of the recent results from our MSEAS group on Lagrangian Coherent Structures at the SIAM Conference on Applications of Dynamical Systems at Snowbird, Utah between May 21 and 25, 2017.

Prof. Pierre Lermusiaux has given and been invited to give lectures at the following workshops and schools during 2013:

• 22-27 September 2013 – International Workshop on “Uncovering Transport Barriers in Geophysical Flows”, Banff, Canada.
• 8-12 July 2013 – Uncertainty Quantification in Climate Modeling and Prediction” mini-symposium, SIAM Annual Meeting, San Diego, CA.
• 24-28 June 2013 – Advanced School on Data Assimilation. University of Bologna, Italy.
• 27-29 May 2013 – 8th workshop on data assimilation methods for large models (EnKF 2013), Bergen, Norway.
• 17-22 February 2013 – International Workshop on “Probabilistic Approaches to Data Assimilation for Earth Systems”, Banff, Canada.

Prof. Pierre Lermusiaux is presenting a talk on Monday July 8 at the 2013 SIAM annual meeting, entitled “Uncertainty Predictions, Non-Gaussian Data Assimilation and Bayesian Inference of Dynamical Model Equations”. This talk is being given in the session on “Uncertainty Quantification in Climate Modeling and Prediction”.

Uncertainty quantification (UQ) of climate system forecasts presents challenges in mathematics, intertwined with limitations in observations and understanding of the system. Our goal is to provide a forum for this diverse community to discuss ideas for advancing the science of UQ in climate modeling and many of its components. Topics of interest include UQ in a hierarchical set of climate models, representing uncertainties in coupled climate system models, risk assessment strategies, use of new approaches such as information theoretic metrics/simplified stochastic models for UQ, assimilation and calibration for UQ of initial and forcing fields.

Prof. Lermusiaux was invited to give a presentation on “Ocean Modeling and Data Assimilation for the Maritime Industry” at the Gloucester (MA) New Maritime Port Economy Summit on November 15, 2011. More information on the summit is available at this web site. A PDF copy of his presentation is available here.
