Workshop NCAR - Wyoming Days

19 - 20 May 2009, Boulder, Colorado

The partnership of NCAR and the State of Wyoming to build the NCAR-Wyoming Supercomputing Center in Cheyenne has also generated closer ties between the applied mathematics and computational science faculty at the University of Wyoming and NCAR scientists. Besides more informal seminars and scientific collaborations, a short workshop for cross fertilization between institutions, NCAR/UWy days, was held last year in the Fall. Following last year's successful get together IMAGe will sponsor another 1.5 day event at Chautauqua .
Rather than canvassing the wide interests of all the NCAR/UWy participants, this year will include longer lectures some by a few external speakers and a focus on numerical methods and modeling.

IMAGe

The Institute for Mathematics Applied to Geosciences (IMAGe) is a group within the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) for the purpose of advancing mathematical theory and its application to all facets of NCAR and the geophysical community at large. IMAGe is substantially funded by the National Science Foundation.
IMAGe is composed of four groups; the Data Assimilation Research Section, the Geophysical Statistics Project, the Turbulence Numerics Team, and the Computational Mathematics Group. For more information about IMAGe, including post-doc positions, please contact Doug Nychka.

NCAR

NCAR was formed in 1960 and has a broad interdisciplinary research program involving more that 1000 employees of which several hundred hold advanced scientific or engineering degrees. The NCAR scientific program includes nearly all aspects of the atmosphere including climate and weather, atmospheric chemistry, ecology, instrumentation, scientific computing, and economic and societal impacts of atmospheric processes.
