Ian Roulstone’s book has appeared in Books in Brief in the recent issue of Nature.  They wrote: “Mathematicians Ian Roulstone and John Norbury demystify the maths behind meteorology. Trailblazers’ work is vividly evoked, from eighteenth-century mathematician Leonhard Euler on hydrostatics to physicist Vilhelm Bjerknes’s numerical weather prediction. The pace cranks up with twentieth-century advances such as Jule Gregory Charney’s harnessing of […]

The Mathematics Panel at EPSRC has funded the project “Dynamics of floating water-wave energy extraction devices” for a period of 3 years starting in June 2013.  The total amount of the award is £290K and it funds a Postdoc, a PhD student, travel and two themed semesters. The interest in this project is the OWEL […]

Gianne Derks visited the Department of Mathematics at the University of Missouri, which is in the city of Columbia, Missouri, from 29 March until 2 April to work with Yuri Latushkin on stability and linearizations in the Euler equation.  During the visit, she gave a colloquium talk on Monday 1st April, on the topic “Existence […]

A team from Surrey (Jock McOrist, Ian Roulstone, Martin Wolf) have been awarded a $30K grant by the Clay Mathematics Institute.  The grant funds a workshop on “Geometry and Fluids” that will be held at Oxford University in 2014.
