The 2018 Annual Meeting of the SIAM UKIE Section took place on Thursday, 11th of January 2018 at the National Oceanography Centre in Southampton. The meeting featured five invited speakers, covering a broad range of industrial and applied mathematics, and a poster session. The MPE CDT student Joe Wallwork and aligned student Maha Kaouri, they each presented a poster during that meeting. Congratulations to Joe Wallwork who was awarded runner up prize for presenting a poster on “Multi-scale numerical simulation of a tsunami using mesh adaptive methods”.

The group draws on almost 50years experience of innovation, consultancy, software development and trainingprovision for Shell. One key application area for statistics is environmentalscience. This talk with outline current applications, including modelling ofextreme ocean environments, remote sensing of gas plumes and monitoring ofcarbon sequestration sites, acoustic sensing, seismic hazard monitoring andwind power forecasting, emphasising the role of statistical modelling and datascience. Extreme value analysis helps us understandrare environments. Reliable design and assessment of flood and coastaldefences, land-based and marine structures requires estimation of both marginaland dependence characteristics of extreme environments. The characteristics ofextreme ocean storms change with covariates such as storm direction, season andwater depth. Careful incorporation of covariate effects in extreme value modelsis therefore essential. We achieve this by expressing parameters of extremevalue model as smooth functions of covariates. In particular, simultaneousoccurrences of extreme seas at multiple locations in a neighbourhood can causegreater structural reliability and human safety concerns than extremes at asingle location. Understanding spatial dependence of extreme seas, also subjectto covariate effects, is therefore equally important. We will outline a usefulstatistically-justified model for spatial extremes. Applications to spatialneighbourhoods of locations in the northern North Sea, incorporatingdirectional and seasonal covariates, and extremal spatial dependence, will beillustrated.

In this setting, mixing is a purely advective effect which causes atransfer of energy to high frequency. In turn, mixing acts to enhance thedissipative forces, giving rise to what we refer to as enhanced dissipation:this can be understood by the identification of a time-scale faster than thepurely diffusive one. We will give a general quantitative criterion that linksmixing rates to enhanced dissipation time-scales. Applications includepassive scalar evolution in both planar and radial settings, fractionaldiffusion, linearized two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations, and even simpleexamples in kinetic theory.
