Current and emerging developments in subseasonal to decadal prediction

2020

Weather and climate variations on subseasonal to decadal time scales can have enormous social, economic, and environmental impacts, making skillful predictions on these time scales a valuable tool for decision-makers. As such, there is a growing interest in the scientific, operational, and applications communities in developing forecasts to improve our foreknowledge of extreme events. On subseasonal to seasonal (S2S) time scales, these include high-impact meteorological events such as tropical cyclones, extratropical storms, floods, droughts, and heat and cold waves. On seasonal to decadal (S2D) time scales, while the focus broadly remains similar (e.g., on precipitation, surface and upper-…

Stimulating and facilitating Norwegian RUME

2016

International audience; MatRIC – Centre for Research, Innovation and Coordination of Mathematics Teaching is a Norwegian centre of excellence in higher education. The centre focuses on innovation in university level mathematics teaching. We foster research in teaching and learning mathematics, especially but not exclusively in the context of innovative practice. MatRIC also seeks to facilitate the networking of university level mathematics teachers within Norway and with the international community. This poster focuses on MatRIC's activity aimed at the development of research in university mathematics education. The poster sets out strands of activity within MatRIC's research programme, typ…

MATHEMATICS AS A QUASI-EMPIRICAL SCIENCE

2006

The present paper aims at showing that there are times when set theoretical knowledge increases in a non-cumulative way. In other words, what we call ‘set theory’ is not one theory which grows by simple addition of a theorem after the other, but a finite sequence of theories T1, ..., T n in which Ti+1, for 1 ≤ i < n, supersedes T i . This thesis has a great philosophical significance because it implies that there is a sense in which mathematical theories, like the theories belonging to the empirical sciences, are fallible and that, consequently, mathematical knowledge has a quasi-empirical nature. The way I have chosen to provide evidence in favour of the correctness of the main thesis of t…
