CUWB-VI: Modelling emergent behaviour in marine ecosystems inspired by mathematical physics
This workshop aims at exploring opportunities for collaboration between the mathematicians and engineers of IIMAS and the researchers of the Academic Unit for Reef Systems (UASA) at the ICML, and the mathematicians of the University of Bath.
UASA conducts research directed at understanding the functioning of coral reef ecosystems and, through continuous monitoring, obtaining the information necessary to design protection and conservation strategies for this complex biological system. These ecosystems are currently affected by both natural and anthropogenic factors, with climate change being among the most significant.
The objective of the workshop is to exchange knowledge and foster discussion regarding the processes of data collection and data processing carried out during the aforementioned monitoring, so that the resulting information can be effectively incorporated into the theoretical frameworks and mathematical models used to explain the phenomena under study.
Researchers from IIMAS and the University of Bath will present mathematical models and information-processing technologies developed as part of scientific research projects.
A similar workshop was held two years ago, during which several points of convergence were identified. These findings have helped refine some of the presentations that IIMAS scholars are now delivering.
The organizers of this workshop express their gratitude to the head of UASA, Dr. Juan P. Carricart‑Ganivet, for his unwavering support in making this event possible.
