Fundamental Gap in Mission Area, School, College, and University in Multi-Scale, Non-Linear Complex Environmental Systems Modeling Capabilities • With the increasing power of computers 3-D physical simulations of complex environmental systems is possible • This field is fundamental to the formation of interdisciplinary teams as the modeling of environmental flux paths is the critical non-linear linkage between environmental biogeochemical components
Fundamental Skills this Person Would Bring: • Expert in efficient computational solution of multi-scale (orders of magnitude differences in scales) non-linear physical systems
Fundamental Skills this Person Might Bring: • The use of real-time data assimilation to guide computational now-cast modeling • Solution of stiff linear systems • Solution of stochastic non-linear and linear environment systems (i.e., stochastic hydrologists, turbulent transport)
Funded Research Program • The foundation of interdisciplinary NSF type research proposals • Biocomplexity and the Environment (BE) • Information Technology Research (ITR) • Environmental Geochemistry and Biogeochemistry (EGB)
Core Teaching Competencies this Person Might Posses • ENGRD 241 • CEE 331 • Computational solution of linear and non-linear PDE’s • Computational solution of stochastic PDE’s • Data assimilation
