Date and Time: December 1-2, 2022

Location: Gerald D. Fischbaum Auditorium at 160 Fifth Ave NY, NY 10010

Conference Organizer: Jalal Shatah

Wave Turbulence Theory is central to the understanding of physical phenomena featuring interactions of weakly nonlinear dispersive waves. This includes, but is not limited to, atmospheric and oceanic dynamics, wave weather forecasting, and climate prediction. In the past couple of years, scientists working under the umbrella of the Simons Collaboration on Wave Turbulence, using a collaborative and interdisciplinary approach, have made significant progress validating certain aspects of Wave Turbulence theory, increasing its reliability and effectiveness as a tool in these applications. The Annual Simons Collaboration on Wave Turbulence Conference aims at providing an update on some of the research conducted under the umbrella of the collaboration, as well as highlighting external research from related fields, with the scope of further developing the collaborative research approach started by the PIs of the grant.
