Computational Simulations As Cyber-Tools To Learn About Our Planet

Friday, October 4, 2013: 10:15 AM-11:45 AM
210 A (Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center)
Chair:
Marcelo Sztainberg, PhD, Interim Dean, Northeastern Illinois University

Description: Numerical models are often used to understand Earth’s physical processes, such as rivers, coastlines, or the global ocean, among others. As the computational power increases the sophistication and resolution of these models, their simulations have increased. The speakers will discuss their experience with developing or analyzing computational models and simulations.
