NP Campfire - Scaling and multifractals: from historical perspectives to recent developments, Session 4

Scaling law behaviours are ubiquitous in geosciences both from a theoretical and practical point of view. They are required to better understand, analyse and simulate the underlying processes, which yields the observed variability of geophysical fields over wide ranges of spatio-temporal scales.

A group of scientists within the Nonlinear Processes in Geosciences (NP) Division of the European Geosciences Union (EGU) is launching in the “campfire” framework* a series of webinars on “Scaling and multifractals : from historical perspectives to recent developments.”

The aim of the “campfire” is to hear first-hand from internationally recognized experts of the field their personal perspectives on scaling and multifractals. They will share their thoughts on the historical background of the field as well as its recent developments and future goals. This unique opportunity, targeted to both early career scientists and established researchers, aims at fostering discussions within the research community to push it toward pursuing past achievements.

This fourth campfire will feature the following speakers:
– François Schmitt : “Discrete and continuous multifractal cascade models: historical roots and application to turbulence”
– Charles Meneveau : “A new multifractal version of Navier-Stokes based model of velocity gradients in turbulence”

Registration is free but mandatory. To register, simply send an email to sympa@liste.enpc.fr with “subscribe egu_np_campfire_multifractals” (without the quotation marks) as title. Link to connect will be sent shortly before the webinar.

Please note that the timing of each campfire in this series may differ.
