Summary of the
meeting :
The scope of this inter-disciplinary meeting (statistics and
geosciences) is to foster new research perspectives between atmospheric
scientists and applied mathematicians around one important geophysical
research topic: data assimilation of extreme events. Mathematically,
the class of models used in data assimilation corresponds to a state-space
formulation in which the state equation drives the dynamics of the system
and the observational equation integrates measurements with the state
variables. Our two-day lecture and two-day workshop aim at taking advantage
of recent developments in the field of Extreme Value Theory within
a state-space modeling and
filtering framework. |
We will
have four invited speakers for these two days:
- Richard Davis (Columbia University) : Extreme Value Theory
- Olivier Cappé (ENST):
Filtering Approaches
- Frédéric
Chevallier (Laboratoire des
Sciences du Climat et de
l'Environnement ): Data Assimilation
- Anne-Laure Fougères (
Modélisation Aléatoire
de Paris X): Extreme Value Theory
