Highlights of the Year

On the one hand, the ERC Consolidator Grant allocated to Anne Mangeney will enable cross-disciplinary works for the modelling of processes governing landslides. In the same spirit, the first Albert Tarantola workshop managed by A. Mangeney and J. Sainte-Marie held on September and aimed at promoting collaborations between mathematicians and geophysicists.

On the other hand, 2013 was dedicated to “Mathematics for Planet Earth” under the patronage of UNESCO. This international initiative consisted in highlighting the role played by mathematics in the modelling of processes that occur on earth including geophysics, biology and human sciences. The ANGE team got involved into this dynamic through the ARP “MathInTerre” from the French agency for research (ANR): scientific committee, organisation of dedicated workshops,...
