This focus group was formed in 1998 to meet a growing interest
in the analysis and modeling of nonlinear behavior in geophysical processes.
The group focuses on quantifying nonlinear behavior through analysis of
geophysical data and modeling using the mathematical tools and approaches of
fractals, chaos, scaling, critical phenomenon, nucleation, cellular automata,
and self-organizing and complex systems. Quantification of nonlinear behavior
and sensitivity to initial conditions are essential for forecasting the
temporal and spatial behavior of many earth processes. Members of this group
have made major contributions to understanding how earth processes scale and
evolve in space and time including: earthquakes, climate, particle dynamics
in the solar wind, dynamics of solar processes, landform dynamics, ecological
dynamics, and nonlinear data inversion techniques. This focus group is
trans-disciplinary and has affiliates from each of the AGU sections. If you
are interested in the nonlinear aspects of the system you study, we invite
you to affiliate with us. |
