Introduction

NLOA 2025 intends to create cross-disciplinary interaction among mathematicians, physicists, oceanographers and atmospheric scientists in a wide sense. It will focus on nonlinear dynamics of atmospheric and oceanic phenomena and it aims to create an international forum where international researchers explore timely open problems in ocean and atmosphere sciences, and also investigate the power and impact of mathematics in these areas.
 
This 2025 edition will take place at the premises of theInstitute of Marine Sciences of Barcelona, Spain,from 22 to 24 January, 2025, organised by the ICM and the CRM.
 
The previous editions were the following:
• Castro Urdiales 2-4 Jul 2008, https://ifisc.uib-csic.es/public/nloa2008/
• ICMAT, Madrid 3-6 Jul 2012, https://ifisc.uib-csic.es/nloa2012/

Antonio Celani received his PhD at Politecnico di Torino, Italy in 1998. After post-doctoral fellowships at Max Planck Institute in Munich and at the Observatoire de la Côte d’Azur he became researcher for the French National Research Council (CNRS) in 2000. In 2007 he moved to the Institut Pasteur Paris as a research director where he started working at the interface between physics and biology. He joined ICTP in 2014 to contribute to the establishment of the Quantitative Life Sciences Section. He currently works on the theory of Reinforcement Learning and its applications to physics and biology.

Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn

We combine experimental, numerical and theoretical tools using a fully multidisciplinary approach. This implies collaborating with molecular biology, bioinformatics and ecology teams. The research is supported by national and international programmes. Presently a large part of the research is made in the collaborative framework of the Tara Oceans project (http://www.embl.de/tara-oceans/start/).

Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique- ENS

My scientific interests cover a wide range of topics in geophysical fluid dynamics, climate and on the composition of the atmosphere. The list of my past and present works span the statistical theory of turbulence in rotating fluids, the vortices in geophysical fluids, the synoptic weather regimes, the ozone chemistry, the transport and mixing in the atmosphere, the tropical convection, the impact of the volcanic and wildfire plumes. My works combine observation, modelling and theory. .

More on my research soon on a new dedicated page. In the mean time, look at my list of publications.

Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI)

My interests are in physical oceanography and climate, the oceanic carbon cycle, and biogeochemical distributions. I use modeling and analysis to investigate physical ocean processes and their implications on the productivity and distribution of phytoplankton, and the transport and mixing of properties. I have developed a non-hydrostatic ocean model suited to modeling limited domains in order to capture meso- and submesoscale phenomena.

Consequently I have worked on the problem of open boundary conditions for ocean models, the vertical transport of nutrients by frontal and submesoscale processes in the subtropical oceans, the large-scale transport and distribution of radiocarbon (14C), predictability of the large-scale wind-driven circulation using singular vectors, the dynamics of the shelfbreak front and coastal flows over topography, patchiness in the distributions of various biogeochemical tracers at the sea surface, and mesoscale variability of sea surface pCO2. More recently, I have been working on the interaction between hydrodynamics and vegetation in coastal areas. A broad objective of my research is to understand the feedbacks between physical processes, the autotrophic (plant) community and the carbon cycle.

Mitiga Solutions

Verónica Martín Gómez is a Climate Scientist with strong interest in climate variability, predictability and change. Her research topics have been focused on understanding how anomalous changes in sea surface temperature anomalies affect precipitation and temperature variability in different regions across the world. She is also interested in understanding the sources of uncertainties in climate models to improve predictions at seasonal and decadal time scales. More recently, she is also working in the development of Early Warning Systems of extreme events such as Heatwaves, Drought and Wildfires.

Olascoaga was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where she obtained a Licentiate in oceanography from Instituto Tecnológico de Buenos Aires (ITBA) in 1994. She then moved to Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico to pursue graduate education at Centro de Investigación Científica y de Educación Superior de Ensenada (CICESE). There she obtained a MSc degree (1996) under the direction of Professor Julio Sheinbaum and an ScD degree (2001) in physical oceanography under the advice of the late Professor Pedro Ripa. She subsequently moved to Miami to pursue postdoctoral training at RSMAS. She joined the RSMAS faculty in 2008.
