Please consider submitting an abstract to this interdisciplinary session  
at the American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting (Dec 9-13 in San  
Francisco). Abstracts are due July 31.

T003: Advances in Computational Geosciences

This session highlights advances in the theory and practice of  
computational geoscience, from improvements in numerical methods to  
their application to outstanding problems in the Earth sciences. Common  
issues include robust and efficient solvers, multiscale discretizations,  
design of benchmark problems and standards for comparison. Increasing  
data and computational power necessitates open source scientific  
libraries and workflow automation for model setup, 3D feature  
connectivity, and data assimilation, and automation in uncertainty  
representation and propagation, optimal design of field studies, risk  
quantification, and testing the predictive power of numerical  
simulations. By bringing these crosscutting computational activities  
together in one session, we hope to sharpen our collective understanding  
of fundamental challenges, level of rigor, and opportunities for  
reusable implementations. Contributions from all areas are welcome,  
including, but not limited to, fault modeling, tectonics, subduction,  
seismology, magma dynamics, mantle convection, the core, as well as  
surface processes, hydrology, and cryosphere.

Confirmed invited presenters: Talea Mayo, Andreas Fichtner
