16th GEOPHYSICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL FLUID DYNAMICS SUMMER SCHOOL

Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, University of
Cambridge, UK

Sunday 10th to Saturday 23th September 2006 (Deadline for applications
30th April 2006)

Further Details and On-line Application: http://www.gefd.damtp.cam.ac.uk (http://www.gefd.damtp.cam.ac.uk/)

================================================== =========================

This intensive Summer School aims to introduce participants to fluid dynamics as applied to geophysical and environmental flows. It is intended primarily for students pursuing research towards a PhD and is also suitable for those in industry and government interested in improving their background in the fluid mechanical aspects of environmental problems. Students are accepted from a variety of scientific backgrounds, though knowledge equivalent to a first degree involving mathematics, physics or mechanics is an advantage.

Core Lecturers:

'Large-scale Atmosphere-Ocean Dyanmics' by Peter Haynes

'Geological Fluid Mechanics' by Herbert Huppert

'Ocean Circulation' by David Marshall

'Fluid-Dynamical Fundamentals' by Michael McIntyre

'Buoyancy-Driven Flows' by Grae Worster

'Weather and Climate' by Emily Shuckburgh

2006 Invited Lectures:

* Dr Myles Allen, University of Oxford, on 'Predicting Climate Change'
* Dr Isaac Held, GFDL, on 'Latent Heat and Atmospheric General Circulation'
* Prof Susan Kieffer, University of Illinois, on 'Planetary Volcanism'
* Prof Ric Williams, University of Liverpool, on 'Ocean Circulation and Biological Productivity'

The Summer School will be held in Cambridge at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, Centre for Mathematical Sciences. In addition to attending lectures, participants will carry out programmes of laboratory experiments and computer demonstrations.

Details of the tuition and full-board accommodation fees, as well as the grants available can be found on the web-site.

Closing Date for Applications: 30th APRIL, 2006
