<div>For those in the community working on geophysics:</div><div>I like to draw your attention to this computationally-oriented session at the American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting, San Francisco, California (5-9 Dec, 2011).</div>
<div><br></div><div>IN34 - Robust Methods and Software for Multiphysics Simulation</div><div><br></div><div>Many computational problems in geosciences, such as plate boundary dynamics and coupled ocean/atmosphere/land surface problems, involve multiple physical processes / domains interacting over a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. A single discretization technique rarely suits the entire problem. How do we guarantee numerical stability and accuracy over the timescales of interest? Can we move beyond the common approach of using first-order accurate operator splitting, semi-implicit / explicit time integration methods and decoupled nonlinear solution methods? How do we make the software maintainable and performant? We seek submissions from all disciplines addressing the challenge of solving stiffly-coupled multi-physics problems.</div>
