About the Conference
This is the conference of the SIAM Activity Group on Mathematics of Planet Earth.
Extreme weather, biodiversity, infectious diseases, sustainability, and the associated socio-economic impacts are among the areas of greatest global concern. The SIAM Conference on Mathematics of Planet Earth provides a forum for interdisciplinary researchers to discuss mathematical, statistical, and computational strategies for addressing these problems. The discussion will range from the development of quantitative techniques and algorithms to providing policy makers with tools for qualitative decision support.
The conference is especially interested in sessions and presentations that address fundamental and applied questions in: earth system modeling, hurricanes, erosion, earthquakes, sea ice, sea level rise, earth system monitoring, carbon sequestration and storage, earth resources, agriculture, sub-seasonal forecasting, weather, ocean and atmosphere dynamics, tsunamis and rogue waves, remote sensing, ecosystem modeling, sustainability, conservation, adaptation, mitigation, hazards, pollution events and clean-up, disasters, water and food security, transportation, and infectious diseases.
Research in these areas is supported by the development and utilization of applied mathematics and new quantitative methods in: deep learning, data-driven modeling, numerical analysis, dynamical systems, probabilistic modeling, uncertainty quantification, reduced-order-modeling, Bayesian estimation, data assimilation, closure modeling, rare events theory, optimization, control and decision theory, autonomy, risk management, visualization, supercomputing and quantum computing, and systems theory and engineering.
Other advances directly relevant to MPE themes are also most welcome.
The following conferences will be held jointly:
2026 SIAM Annual Meeting (AN26)
SIAM Conference on Applied Mathematics Education (ED26)
SIAM Conference on the Life Sciences (LS26)
SIAM Conference on Mathematics of Planet Earth (MPE26)
