Mathematics and climate research network

Jan. 1, 2024 – Dec. 31, 2024

at the American Institute of Mathematics

This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, provides intellectual support and mentoring to researchers at all career stages who are eager to identify and tackle mathematical questions raised by the urgent climate and sustainability challenges we face.

We collaborate on novel research problems in focus groups, foster community and engage in co-mentoring through periodic small group activities, and provide networking and professional development opportunities.

At our launch event on June 1 and June 8, 2024, we will collaboratively plan the year’s activities to align with community needs and interests. A particular focus of this community is on developing innovative approaches to nurturing inclusive spaces for research discussion and development.

Please see our research community website for updated information regarding community activities and plans. We welcome anyone to apply to join our community, and would like to particularly encourage women and underrepresented minorities to apply. We are interested in cultivating an inclusive space; accordingly, any participants must adhere to the community guidelines.

This event will be run as an AIM-style workshop. Participants will be invited to suggest open problems and questions before the workshop begins, and these will be posted on the workshop website. These include specific problems on which there is hope of making some progress during the workshop, as well as more ambitious problems which may influence the future activity of the field. Lectures at the workshop will be focused on familiarizing the participants with the background material leading up to specific problems, and the schedule will include discussion and parallel working sessions.
