SIAM Conference on Mathematical and Computational
Issues in the Geosciences (GS03)
March 17-20, 2003
Radisson Hotel and Suites Austin
Austin, Texas
Sponsored by SIAM Activity Group on Geosciences
ABOUT
THE CONFERENCE
From points of view ranging from science to public policy, there is burgeoning
interest in modeling of geoscientific problems. Some examples include petroleum
exploration and recovery, underground waste disposal and cleanup of hazardous
waste, earthquake prediction, weather prediction, and global climate change.
Such modeling is fundamentally interdisciplinary; physical and mathematical
modeling at appropriate scales, physical experiments, mathematical theory,
probability and statistics, numerical approximations, and large-scale computational
algorithms all have important roles to play.
This conference facilitates communication between scientists of varying
backgrounds and work environments facing similar issues in different fields,
and provides a forum in which advances in parts of the larger modeling picture
can become known to those working in other parts. These kinds of interactions
are needed for meaningful progress in understanding and predicting complex
physical phenomena in the geosciences.

HOW
TO PARTICIPATE
You are invited to contribute a presentation for this conference in one of
the following formats.
Minisymposia
A minisymposium consists of four 25-minute presentations, with an additional
five minutes for discussion after each presentation. Prospective minisymposium
organizers are asked to submit a proposal consisting of a title, a description
(not to exceed 100 words), and a list of speakers and titles of their presentations
using the Conference Management System available Here
It is recommended that the minisymposium organizer make the first presentation. Each minisymposia will be refereed by the Organizing Committee. The number of minisymposia may be limited to retain an acceptable level of parallelism in the conference sessions.
For further minisymposium
organizer and participant information, please visit
archive.siam.org/meetings/resources/miniguid.htm
Deadline for submission of minisymposium proposals is August 20, 2002.
Contributed Presentations
in Lecture or Poster Format
Contributed presentations in lecture or poster format are invited in all areas
consistent with the conference themes. A lecture format involves a 15-minute
oral presentation with an additional 5 minutes for discussion. A poster format
involves the use of visual aids such as 8-1/2" x 11" sheets for
mounting on a 4' x 6' poster board. A poster session is two hours long. Each
contributor, either for a lecture or poster, must submit a title and brief
abstract not to exceed 75 words.
Please submit contributed presentations in lecture or poster format using the Conference Management System.
Deadline for submission of contributed abstracts is September 17, 2002.
Electronic Submission
Please use SIAM's Conference
Management System to submit minisymposium proposals, minisymposium
abstracts and contributed abstracts in lecture or poster format.
Acceptance Notification
to Authors
Authors will be notified by e-mail by the end of October.
