Transport Systems in Geography, Geosciences, and Networks

Month: May 2008

Date: May 5--9

Name: Transport Systems in Geography, Geosciences, and Networks

Location: Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics (IPAM), UCLA, Los Angeles, California.

Scientific Overview

This workshop will explore why and how transport due to turbulent flow takes place and is optimal. Other transport such as transport of magma in volcanoes will also be covered and how similar ideas can be used to identify and quantify transport in social networks and economics.

Organizing Committee

Andrea Bertozzi, Bjorn Birnir, Dan Rothman, and William Zame.
