t is undisputed that the Earth is experiencing a period of changing climate, and due to climate change, it is expected that extreme events (e.g., heat waves, floods, storm surges, hurricanes, wildfires, earthquakes) may be more frequent, severe, and interdependent in the future, thus leading to larger impacts. An important step towards resilient extreme events monitoring and evaluating the hazards to infrastructure is to develop novel and rigorous mathematical and statistical framework that can identify areas vulnerable to compound extreme phenomena. In the current Big Data era, the difficulty of this task is often exacerbated with the data being increasingly massive and complex.

Soap films and bubbles have fascinated children and scientists for centuries. Mathematically, minimal surface theory -- with roots reaching back to Euler -- has been fundamental in the development of geometric analytic techniques and is presently experiencing extraordinary progress. It stands at the crossroads of several scientific disciplines including geometric analysis, algebraic geometry, dynamical systems, and mathematical physics (string theory, quantum field theories). The workshop will facilitate interactions and foster long-term collaborations between researchers in these areas who are – often unbeknownst – studying similar phenomena from different perspectives while using different techniques.
