Stochastic Transport in Upper Ocean Dynamics IV

Bertrand Chapron is Head of the Space Oceanography Laboratory at Ifremer—French Research Institute for Exploitation of the Sea, France. His research activities lie in applied mathematics, physical oceanography, electromagnetic wave theory and its applications to ocean remote sensing, and data processing. Dan Crisan is Professor at the Department of Mathematics of Imperial College London, UK, and Director of the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in the Mathematics of Planet Earth. His current research interests lie in stochastic analysis, fluid dynamics, nonlinear filtering, and probabilistic numerical methods. Darryl Holm is Professor of mathematics at Imperial College London, UK, and Fellow of Los Alamos National Laboratory, USA. His works have applied geometric mechanics in many topics, including geophysical fluid dynamics (GFD) for ocean circulation, stochastic fluid dynamics, turbulence, nonlinear waves, and stochastic optimal control for shape analysis. Etienne Mémin is Director of Research at Inria—National Institute for Research in Digital Science and Technology, France. His research focuses on stochastic modeling of fluid flows and data assimilation an activity that crosses disciplines such as geophysics, fluid mechanics, and applied mathematics. Jane-Lisa Coughlan is Programme Project Manager at Imperial College London, UK.
