Prof. Pierre Lermusiaux is an invited Panelist and Lecturer at the “Working with Uncertainty Workshop: Representation, Quantification, Propagation, Visualization, and Communication of Uncertainty”, as part of IEEE VisWeek 2011. This workshop will take place October 24, 2011 in Providence, RI.

Prof. Pierre Lermusiaux was one of the co-organizers of a workshop on Ocean Integration in Earth System Prediction Capability Data Assimilation. This took place 27-29 September 2011 at the University of Maryland.

Prof. Pierre Lermusiaux is a Guest Editor for a special issue of Ocean Dynamics on “Multi-scale modeling of coastal, shelf and global ocean dynamics”. This issue includes results presented at IMUM2010 and IMUM2011.

Congratulations to Konuralp Yigit and Thomas Sondergaard on their recent graduations. Konur received a MS from Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering for his research on “Path Planning Methods for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles”. Thomas received a MS from Mechanical Engineering for his research on “Data Assimilation with Gaussian Mixture Models using the Dynamically Orthogonal Field Equations”.
