Welcome to the GeoHyd Lunch Seminar MONDAY 20 January. Note the day is Monday instead of Friday.

The 14th Annual Winter School of eVITA/SINTEF will be held January 19-24th 2014 in Geilo. The topic for the 2014 school is Big data challenges to modern statistics, with several internationally renowned experts giving a series of lectures on the subject.  Read more on the SINTEF website of the winter school (external link).

In the Macroevolution and Red Queen Journal Club on Friday we will read Uyeda et al. 2010 paper on phenotypic evolution across a range of timescales 'The million-year wait for macroevolutionary bursts'.

The logic seminar will take place in B63 in NHA on Thursdays from 10.15 to 12.00.

The program is tentative. There are free slots in the program. Contact Dag Normann for suggestions or questions.

Hanna Zdanowicz (Univeritetet i Oslo) holder et seminar med tittelen: Pricing of energy spread options by Fourier transform

Kari Beate Remmen at the Department of Geosciences will be defending her dissertation: Reconsidering recommendations for educational fieldwork in earth science: Exploring students’ learning activities during preparation, in the field and follow-up work

Doctoral candidate Kari Beate Remmen at the Department of Geosciences will give a trial lecture on the given topic: A presentation of the range of purposes for which fieldwork is undertaken in science education from primary to higher education level

Giuseppe Coclite, University of Bari.

In this lecture we consider a model for the harvesting of marine  resources, described by a parabolic equation. Since the cost functionals have sublinear growth with respect to the  pointwise intensity of fishing effort, optimal solutions are in general measure-valued. For the control problem, we prove the existence of optimal strategies. The results were obtained in collaboration with Professor Mauro  Garavello.  

Welcome to the first GeoHyd Lunch Seminar in 2014. Meet up Friday January 10.

Bhavna Rathore, PhD Student, ITA

This Thursday we will discuss how hybridization can generate morphological variation that spurs adaptive radiation chichlids. The paper (Selz et al. 2014; attached) is entitled "Relaxed trait covariance in interspecific cichlid hybrids predicts morphological diversity in adaptive radiations" and has just been published in JEB.

The Encode-discussion has been postponed to a later date (January 30th).
