Zusammenfassung: Simulation has greatly advanced climate science, but not sufficiently to the profit of theory and understanding. How can simulation better advance climate science and what mathematical issues does this raise? Our hypothesis is that the development of climate science (i.e., theory and understanding) will be best served by focusing computational and intellectual resources on model and data hierarchies. By bringing together physicists, mathematicians, statisticians, engineers and climate-scientists, and focusing on several themes that reach across scales and scientific methodologies, our program will provide a framework for advancing our use of hierarchical methods in our attempt to understand the climate system.

There will be an active program of research activities, seminars and workshops throughout the March 8 - June 11, 2010 period and core participants will be in residence at IPAM for fourteen weeks. The program will open with tutorials, and will be punctuated by four major workshops and a culminating workshop.

Zusammenfassung: The symposium goal is to broaden perspectives and establish a collegial peer network to address climate challenges at the interface of science and society. Participants will present and discuss their research

Zusammenfassung: The conference will review our understanding of the arctic system in a time of human-induced, rapid environmental change. Topics covered scientific understanding of the basic functioning of the arctic system, including human subsystems

Zusammenfassung: The conference will explore linkages between climate change ethics and human development ethics.

Zusammenfassung: The program sessions are on theoretical, experimental, and operational studies of snow, ice, and winter hydrology. Students are encouraged to enter the student Paper competitions.
