Confronting Grand Challenges in environmental fluid mechanics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Environmental fluid mechanics underlies a wealth of natural, industrial, and, by extension, societal challenges. As we strive toward more sustainable planet, there is wide range problems to be tackled, from fundamental advances in understanding and modeling stratified turbulence consequent mixing applied studies pollution transport the ocean, atmosphere, urban environments. The discussions outcomes recent Les Houches School Physics meeting are summarized here with intent providing resource for community going forward plan action coming decade.

Grand Challenges in Environmental Psychology
Environmental psychology is the subdiscipline of psychological science that deals with psychological processes engaged in encounters between people and the built and natural environment (Stern, 2000). It covers all aspects of human behavior and mental life in relation to the sociophysical environment, whether considered as ambient environmental factors (e.g. infrastructure of everyday life (e.g...
متن کاملGrand challenges in environmental informatics
We live in an era of environmental deterioration through depletion and degradation of resources such as air, water, and soil; the destruction of ecosystems and the extinction of wildlife (Kondratyev, 1998; Kondratyev et al., 2004; Cracknell et al., 2009; Hansen et al., 2013; Freedman, 2014). As a matter of fact, environmental degradation is one of three main threats identified in 2004 by the Hi...
متن کاملGRAND CHALLENGES Confronting the physiological bottleneck: A challenge from ecomechanics
We begin by giving away our punch line: A lack of physiological insight is the primary impediment to the successful prediction of the ecological effects of climatic change. To be sure, there are uncertainties in our predictions of future climate, especially at the local scale, and the complexities of ecological interactions stretch our ability to model complex systems. But it is physiology— our...
متن کاملGrand Challenges in Earth and Environmental Science
Recognizing the Signal Within the Natural Variability This first challenge is, of course, at the crux of the global warming conundrum. Are steady increases in global temperature (and accompanying climate changes) in the past 150 years simply an expression of natural variability, or are they a direct result of mankind’s activities that have resulted in an increase in greenhouse gases? The weight...
متن کاملSome grand challenges in environmental chemistry
OVERVIEW Environmental chemistry is a very broad topic (Jardim, 1998; Ventura et al., 2009; Kubicki and Mueller, 2010; Steinbach and Hoffmann, 2010; Subramaniam, 2010; Caumul, 2011; Gao et al., 2011; Humphris, 2011; Wirth et al., 2011). This subject spans aspects of all states of matter and various phenomena including pollution, (Ashmore and Nathanail, 2008; Busca, 2009; Carls and Meador, 2009;...
