used to better understand and solve
challenges of a global nature.
Topics to be examined include
natural disaster risk, environmental
modelling, climate change, complex
and dynamical systems and scientific
data mining.

DETAIL: 2013 is the
International Year of Mathematics of
Planet Earth (MPE). The year aims to
increase public awareness of the
role mathematics and statistics play
in solving global challenges. It
also provides an opportunity for
current researchers to create new
scientific collaborations. MPE:
The Conference brings together
local and international academics,
researchers from Geoscience
Australia, the Bureau of
Meteorology, CSIRO, the Australian
Bureau of Statistics and the MPE
patron Professor Ian Chubb.
The
general public are encouraged to
join in on 10 July. Dr Mark Stafford
Smith, Science Director Climate
Adaptation Flagship, CSIRO, will be
delivering a public lecture:
A Future Earth for our children:
maths for the planet
