Seminar: From O.D.E’s to S.D.E’s – an introduction to stochastic processes

Climate Change Research Centre (CCRC) 4th Floor, Matthews Building, UNSW, Kensington, NSW, Australia

Dr. Tim Duty (Centre of Excellence for Engineered Quantum Systems (EQuS)) In this tutorial, Tim will introduce basic stochastic processes via the Langevin stochastic differential equation. He will discuss its relation to the Fokker-Planck equation, focusing initially on linear (Ornstein-Ulhenbeck) processes. These are stochastic processes that exhibit linear o.d.e.’s for the time dependence of expectation... View Article

GRANT seminar – Dust to the ocean: Does it really increase productivity?

Flex Spaces, Salamanca 20 Castray Esplanade, Battery Point, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia

Zanna Chase, Andrew Bowie, Pete Strutton (University of Tasmania). GRANT seminar - Dust to the ocean: Does it really increase productivity? This project investigates the relationship between dust deposition and marine productivity. We will quantify dust deposition to the ocean and its chemical and ecological impact by using new geochemical techniques and novel approaches with... View Article

Seminar: Sensing Cloud and Precipitation from Space

Climate Change Research Centre (CCRC) 4th Floor, Matthews Building, UNSW, Kensington, NSW, Australia

Dr Maki Kikuchi (Earth Observation Research Center, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) Center for Water, Climate and Land (CWCL), the University of Newcastle) Serving as two key determinants of the planet's radiation budget and the water cycle, cloud and precipitation have fundamental influences on the formation of the climate system. Satellite remote sensing of cloud... View Article
