Uncertainties in Lagrangian prediction

Sanjeeva Balasuriya examines some recent approaches to ascribing uncertainties to Lagrangian-derived information.

A Fast-Slow Switching Model of Banded Vegetation Pattern Formation in Drylands

A new fast-slow switching model is introduced that captures the ecohydrological processes such as infiltration of water into the soil during rainstorms and  seasonal plant growth and death. 

Carbon Cycle Catastrophes: A Dynamical Systems Perspective

Daniel H. Rothman explains how dynamical systems theory helps in the understanding of disruptions of the carbon cycle in the geological record.

Nearly Three Decades at Snowbird: The Iconic Venue and its Influence on Dynamical Systems at SIAM

Hans Kaper and Marty Golubitsky reflect on the history of Dynamical Systems at Snowbird as the conference moves to Portland in 2021.

Student Feature - Brittany Lemmon

Brittany is a first year graduate student in Biostatistics at University of California Davis.

Short Amphiphilic Molecules: Curve Lengthening, Defects, and the Role of Cholesterol

Yuan Chen, Andrew Christlieb, Keith Promislow, Frits Veerman, and Sulin Wang report on their research project where they derived a singularly perturbed problem for the cholesterol-loaded structure embedded within the singular scaling of the phospholipid bilayer and showed that the cholesterol sublayer robustly stabilizes the membrane to defect-generating pearling perturbations.
