Collaboration in Mathematical Geoscience competition: NSF Program
Solicitation (NSF 05-535)

Full Proposal Deadline:(due by 5:00 p.m. proposer's local time)
Monday, 14 March 2005


In many areas within the geosciences, researchers at the frontiers of
theory, experimental science and modeling confront problems for which
currently applied mathematical or statistical approaches are
insufficient. In mathematics and statistics, geoscience problems can
serve as the impetus for fundamental research in the mathematical
sciences. To effectively meet these challenges requires the combined
efforts of geoscientists and mathematical scientists.

The purposes of the Collaboration in Mathematical Geoscience activity
are:
-To enable collaborative research at the intersection of
mathematical sciences and geosciences, and to encourage
cross-disciplinary education through
(1) summer graduate training activities and
(2) opportunities for interdisciplinary post-doctoral research.

Research topics should fall within one of three broad themes:
(1) mathematical and statistical modeling of large, complex geosystems,
(2) representing uncertainty in geosystems, or
(3) analyzing large geoscience data sets.

Research projects supported under this activity must be essentially
collaborative in nature. Research groups must include at least one
mathematical scientist and at least one geoscientist.

This competition represents an excellent opportunity for the Arctic
geoscience community to collaborate with mathematicians and
statisticians to attack longstanding problems in the Arctic.
