MS64
Numerical Methods for Geophysical Flows - Part I of II

10:30 AM - 12:30 PM
Room: Eglinton and Winton - 2nd Floor

For Part II, see MS72

Geophysical flows have been gaining an increase interest in the applied math community. Applications of related models include flow of pollutants, global atmospheric simulations, oceanography, tsunamis, volcanoes, avalanches, etc.

In this mini-symposium speakers will describe their latest progress on numerical methods for geophysical flows with a special emphasis on applications.
