(Press-News.org) Climate change, biodiversity, infectious diseases, sustainability, and the associated socio-economic impacts are among the areas of greatest global concern. The SIAM Conference on Mathematics of Planet Earth (MPE24) provides a forum for interdisciplinary researchers to discuss mathematical, statistical, and computational strategies for addressing these problems. The discussion at MPE24 will range from the development of quantitative techniques and algorithms to providing policy makers with tools for qualitative decision support.
This year, MPE24 is especially interested in sessions and presentations that address fundamental and applied questions in
earth system modeling, hurricanes, erosion, earthquakes, sea ice, sea level rise, earth system sensing, carbon sequestration and storage, earth resources, agriculture, geoengineering, renewable energy harvesting, sub-seasonal forecasting, weather, ocean and climate dynamics, ecosystem modeling, sustainability, conservation, adaptation, mitigation, hazards, pollution events and clean-up, disasters, water and food security, transportation, and infectious diseases,
by the development and utilization of applied mathematics and new quantitative methods in
deep learning, data-driven modeling, numerical analysis, dynamical systems, probabilistic modeling, uncertainty quantification, reduced-order-modeling, Bayesian estimation, data assimilation, closure modeling, rare events theory, optimization, control and decision theory, autonomy, risk management, visualization, supercomputing, and system theory and engineering.
Other advances directly relevant to MPE themes are also most welcome.
MPE24 is co-located with the SIAM Conference on the Life Sciences (LS24) to provide an even broader forum for the exchange of ideas between scientists dedicated to improving the lives of all species which exist on our planet. The conference will gather interdisciplinary researchers from academia, industry, and national laboratories to tackle these complex and challenging problems.

The student research workshop welcomes contributions in two categories: 1) thesis proposals, for advanced students who have ...
Study shows natural shorelines support greater biodiversity in the chicago river
2024-05-13
New research published today sheds light on the positive effects of maintaining natural shoreline structure on freshwater ecosystems, as opposed to armoring them with steel walls or piles of rocks. The study, conducted by Shedd Aquarium, Illinois Department of Natural Resources and Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, revealed important trends in fish diversity and abundance along various types of shorelines in the Chicago Area Waterway System (CAWS). The findings indicated both fish species richness and the numbers of fish grew with increasing proportions of natural shoreline.
Shoreline armoring, ...
New study shows certain combinations of antiviral proteins are responsible for lupus symptoms and affect treatment outcomes
2024-05-13
In a new study, researchers from Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have uncovered insights as to why lupus symptoms and severity present differently in individuals with the autoimmune condition, which affects up to 1.5 million Americans. The team says this is a crucial step forward in understanding biological mechanisms behind lupus, and may also lead to shifts in how clinicians treat patients with the condition.
The full report, published in Cell Reports Medicine on May 13, concludes that specific combinations and elevated levels of immune system proteins, known as interferons, are associated with ...
Inclusion is not enough: New study reveals the potential of coaching employees to drive new strategic ideas
2024-05-13
In the landscape of modern business, inclusion isn't just a buzzword - it's a strategic imperative. Companies like IBM, Volkswagen and Starbucks are moving to more participative strategy development approaches that reflect a growing understanding of the importance of diversity in fostering innovative and creative strategic ideas. Yet the outcomes of inclusive strategy processes often fall short of expectations. A new study in the Strategic Management Journal sheds light on why that may be.

Study reveals patients with brain injuries who died after withdrawal of life support may have recovered
2024-05-13
BOSTON - (May 13, 2024) Severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of hospitalizations and deaths around the world, affecting more than five million people each year. Predicting outcomes following a brain injury can be challenging, yet families are asked to make decisions about continuing or withdrawing life-sustaining treatment within days of injury.
In a new study, Mass General Brigham investigators analyzed potential clinical outcomes for TBI patients enrolled in the Transforming Research and Clinical Knowledge in TBI (TRACK-TBI) study for whom life support was withdrawn. The investigators found that some patients for whom ...
Anti-immigrant political rhetoric and action threaten Latino/a youth
2024-05-13
WASHINGTON (March 13, 2024)-Harsh political rhetoric about immigrants and anti-immigrant actions can damage parent-child relationships in Latino families and in turn lead to a significant increase in mental health problems for the kids in those families, according to a study published today in JAMA Pediatrics.
“Our research suggests that restrictive immigration policies and harsh rhetoric about immigrants can harm Latino and Latina adolescents,” said Kathleen Roche, lead author of the study and professor ...
Prognostic value of cardiovascular biomarkers in the population
2024-05-13
About The Study: Cardiovascular biomarkers were strongly associated with fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events and mortality. The addition of biomarkers to established risk factors led to only a small improvement in risk prediction metrics for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, but was more favorable for heart failure and mortality.

Sending abortion pills through the mail is timely and effective
2024-05-13
Dispensing abortion pills through the mail works as well as requiring patients to get them in person from a clinic or doctor’s office, according to new research from UC San Francisco, which comes as the Supreme Court is considering whether to disallow the practice.
Researchers found that using a mail-order pharmacy to deliver the drugs after an in-person assessment was both safe and effective, and patients appreciated the privacy and convenience of receiving their abortion medication that way.
