• AM Seminar: Dynamo Action Inside the Giant Planets

    Presenter: Dr. Paula Wulff, UCLA Description: Our solar system hosts six unique planetary magnetic fields. Intrinsic magnetic fields are generated deep inside planets by dynamo action. This process requires regions of electrically conducting material and energy sources to maintain the dynamo. Thus, we can learn about the deep interiors of planets, including their structures and […]

  • AM Seminar: Linear Stochastic Emulators of the Ocean Circulation based on Balanced Truncation: A Caution, perhaps, for Machine Learning?

    Jack Baskin Engineering, 372

    Presenter: Professor Andy Moore, UCSC Ocean Sciences Description: Linear inverse models have enjoyed considerable popularity in the geosciences, particularly in the arena of climate research and climate prediction, for several decades as a straightforward approach to dimension reduction and streamlining computational efficiency. The most common approach is to truncate the system by retaining the leading […]
