[CIG-ALL] AGU Sessions on Computational Geoscience T032 and DI001

[Margarete Jadamec]

Dear Colleagues,

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 to the AGU Fall Meeting and share your
results and/or numerical approaches!

Abstracts are due today (23:59 EDT). Session details for T032 and DI001
are  included below:

(1) T032: State of the Art in Computational Geoscience (ID #13408)
https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm16/preliminaryview.cgi/Session13408
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
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


On behalf of the Conveners for Each Session:
