DESCRIPTION:"Main page":http://www.antarctica.ac.uk/Meetings/2007/complexi
 ty2007/index.html for meeting.\n\nIf you have a question about this meetin
 g\, please contact Nicholas Watkins.\n\nThe Natural Complexity programme o
 f the British Antarctic Survey is organising a conference entitled “Natu
 ral Complexity – data and theory in dialogue” to take place on 13-17 A
 ugust 2007 at Clare College\, Cambridge. Inspired by the question: "What u
 se is complexity science to global environmental issues"  the meeting aims
  to highlight the contribution that complexity theories are already making
  to high-priority problems in the earth system sciences and to present the
 m with new challenges.  \n\nThe Meeting will begin with a 1-day symposium 
 at the Law Faculty introducing some topical earth-system problems\, aspect
 s of complexity\, and intersection points between the two. \n\nThemes thro
 ughout the following 4 days will include:\n\nModern nonlinear time series 
 analysis and dynamical systems\n\nBeyond Brownian motion – random walks 
 and anomalous diffusion\n\nCollective phenomena – networks and extremes\
 n\nEmergence\, self-organisation\, and pattern formation\n\nThe emphasis t
 hroughout the 5 days will be on the relationship of complexity theory to r
 eal-world observations and problems. We anticipate that both experts and n
 on-experts in complexity will attend\, so to aid dialogue each day will st
 art with tutorials that collectively will cover some of the essential conc
 epts and tools of complexity.\n\n
