[CIG-ALL] AGU 2015- Session "State of the Art in Computational Geoscience"

[Matthew Knepley]

We would like to encourage abstract submission to the session, "State of
the Art in Computational Geoscience" in the Tectonophysics section of the
2015 AGU Fall Meeting to be held in San Francisco from December 14-18.

The deadline for abstract submission is in *two days, i.e., on August 5*,
2015 (11:59 p.m. EDT).

Session Title: State of the Art in Computational Geoscience

Session Description: 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. We welcome contributions from all areas of geoscience
including, but not limited to computational tectonics, surface processes,
hydrology, cryosphere, mantle, and core, addressing computational issues
such as robust and efficient solvers, multiscale discretizations, design of
benchmark problems and standards for comparison, open source scientific
libraries, workflow automation for model setup and data assimilation,
representation and propagation of uncertainty, optimal design of field
studies, quantifying risk in decision problems, and testing the predictive
power of numerical simulation.

By bringing these crosscutting computational activities together in one
session, we hope to sharpen our collective understanding of the fundamental
challenges, level of rigor, and opportunities for reusable implementations.


Our confirmed invited speakers for the session are:

*Nathan Collier* – Oak Ridge National Laboratory

*Maarten V. de Hoop* – Rice University

*Noemi Petra* – University of California Merced

*Frederik J. Simons* – Princeton University
