[Grad-postdoc-assn] Summer Graduate Workshop on Data Assimilation for the Carbon Cycle

[Paula Fisher]

The Institute for Mathematics Applied to Geosciences
and the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute
Summer Graduate Workshop on Data Assimilation for the Carbon Cycle
NCAR, Boulder, CO   8-13 July 2007

This summer school will expose students in the geosciences, ecology, and 
mathematics to multidisciplinary science through a focus on estimating 
the sources and sinks of carbon for the Earth system. Participants will 
obtain an overview of this problem but also some specific skills in 
tackling inverse problems and working with geophysical and 
biogeochemical models.

Lectures and discussion will be supplemented by a series of 
computational examples and exercises based on state-of-the-art 
atmospheric and biogeochemical models and will include problem-solving 
with NCAR's Data Assimilation Research Testbed (DART) facility. DART is 
a publicly-available software environment that supports a variety of 
geophysical models, different kinds of observations, ensemble filters, 
and smoothers.
