[aspect-devel] AGU Sessions DI001 and T032 on Computational Geoscience

[Juliane Dannberg]

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to draw your attention to these TWO inter-related and
exciting sessions at the upcoming 2016 Fall AGU Meeting on computational
advances in geoscience (T032 [1] and DI001 [2]), by Tectonophysics and
Study of Earth's Deep Interior. 

As computation and the influx of digital data are becoming an integral
part of our science from the surface to the core, please consider
submitting an abstract to one of these sessions and share your results
and/or numerical approaches! 

Abstracts are due by Wednesday, August 3 (and by July 27 to be eligible
to win an  early submission AGU package). Session details for T032 [1]
and DI001 [2] are also included below: 
(1) T032: STATE OF THE ART IN COMPUTATIONAL GEOSCIENCE (ID #13408)
https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm16/preliminaryview.cgi/Session13408 [1]
This session highlights advances in the theory and practice of
computational geoscience, from improvements in numerical methods to
automation of tasks necessary to rigorously close the loop from data to
decisions. Common issues include robust and efficient solvers,
multiscale discretizations, design of benchmark problems and standards
for comparison. Increasing data and computational power necessitates
open source scientific libraries and workflow automation for model
setup, 3D feature connectivity, and data assimilation, and automation in
uncertainty representation and propagation, optimal design of field
studies, risk quantification, and testing the predictive power of
numerical simulations. By bringing these crosscutting computational
activities together in one session, we hope to sharpen our collective
understanding of fundamental challenges, level of rigor, and
opportunities for reusable implementations. Contributions from all areas
are welcome, including, but not limited to, fault modeling, tectonics,
subduction, seismology, magma, mantle convection, the core, as well as
surface processes, hydrology, and cryosphere.

Invited Presenters: 
Lijun Liu and Tolulope Olugboji

Conveners:   
Jed Brown, Margarete Jadamec, Matthew Knepley

(2) DI001: ADVANCES IN COMPUTATIONAL SOLID EARTH SCIENCE (ID #13432)
https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm16/preliminaryview.cgi/Session13432 [2]
This session highlights the state of the art in computational solid
Earth sciences. We solicit novel ideas on solving forward and inverse
problems and their application to outstanding problems that push our
understanding of the lithosphere-asthenosphere, mantle and core to new
parameter regimes, resolutions, and multi-parameter systems.

This includes, but is not limited to modeling across the scales,
coupling physics, novel inverse approaches, dealing with nonlinearities
and uncertainties, effective media (e.g. homogenization), scaling
implementations, open source community software, efficient usage of
high-performance computing infrastructures, facilitating usage of novel
data types, design of benchmark studies and best practices in software
development and modeling. 

By facilitating an exchange about the methods used for different
applications, we aim to showcase the increasingly crucial role and
impact taken by advanced computational methods in the Earth sciences, as
well as sustainability and re-usability of their implementations.

Invited Presenters: 
Kerry Key and Georg Stadler 
  Conveners:  
Juliane Dannberg, Tarje Nissen-Meyer, Marc Spiegelman, Omar Ghattas
