Society of Exploration Geophysicists

This workshop will feature a historical documentary on the early events and pioneers; showcase recent developments and advances in seismic acquisition, processing and interpretation; and moreover, suggest innovative pathways into the future of seismic. Because of the wide applications of the seismic method, the event will invite participation from industry, academia, and government agencies. The three-day event — based at the Oklahoma State University (OSU) campus in Stillwater — will include technical presentations at the University of Oklahoma (OU) in Norman (Day 1) and OSU (Day 2) as well as a field trip to historic sites (Day 3). The field trip will visit the site(s) where the first seismic reflection experiments were conducted in Belle Isle and the Arbuckle Mountains, along with some key geologic outcrops.

Kolejna, XXXIV Konferencja z Historii Matematyki odbędzie się w Ośrodku Konferencyjnym Instytutu Matematycznego PAN w Będlewie w dniach 07–12.05.2023. Konferencja poświęcona będzie głównie historii matematyki polskiej, jednak możliwe będą też odczyty dotyczące innych zagadnień, np. jubileusze związane z historią matematyki, czy też historia matematyki światowej.

Institute of Physics (IOP)

Physicists take for granted universality of the laws of physics—the laws of thermodynamics, gravity and quantum mechanics work just as well in Mumbai as they do in London, and for that matter—we believe— in the Andromeda galaxy. But are there universal laws in biology? Evolutionary biologist, Theodosius Dobzhansky declared that “Nothing in Biology makes sense, except in the light of evolution”. But surely, life is too contingent, context dependence, and just too messy to be described simply by the laws of evolution — and just "What is life?" anyway, as Schrodinger famously pondered.

Join Dr Bhavin Khatri who will explore these questions and how concepts from physics—of emergence and entropy—are changing our understanding of evolution from the, much used and abused, simple picture of “survival of the fittest”.

Geometry is all around us. The circles and triangles of the Ancient Greeks have never left us. Film, art, and architecture ha ve all been touched by mathematics and geometry. 3D printing, robotics, and origami are a new wave of geometry. At Geometry: Education, Art, and Research, leading researchers pair up with educations and artists to push the boundaries of contemporary geometry.

Max Planck Institute for the History of Science (MPIWG)

A two-day Workshop (10-11 July 2023) for early career professionals (scholars, curators, archivists, and librarians) working in the history of cartography, will precede the Symposium. Hands-on activities led by four experts in the field may include work with the MPIWG’s collection of Chinese maps and discussions on developing digital humanities projects, as well as sessions focusing on the themes of color in map scholarship.

Society for the History of Discoveries

Founded in 1960, the purpose of the Society is to stimulate teaching, research, and publishing in the history of geographical exploration. We now call for research papers on voyages, travels, biography, history, cartography, the technologies of travel, the impact of travel and cultural exchange, and other aspects of geographic discovery.

Laboratory of Applied Mathematics and Modeling (AM&M)

ECMI-SciTech 2023, the 2nd International Conference on The "Evolution of Contemporary Mathematics and their Impact in Science and Technology", organized by the Laboratory of Applied Mathematics and Modeling is scheduled to occur on October 11th and 12th, 2023 at Brothers Mentouri University of Constantine, Algeria, is an event focusing on contemporary mathematics in both theoretical and practical fields. The conference is a global platform that aims to provide an opportunity for a meeting between eminent researchers, doctoral candidates and experts from various fields of science and technology specialized in multiple fields. The main objective of this gathering is to create a diverse and inclusive environment that demonstrates the impact of contemporary mathematics in solving issues raised in science and technology, as well as to stimulate new collaborations by proposing new interdisciplinary joint research projects.

Mary Somerville (1780-1872) was an eminent Scottish scientist of the 19th century. She made important contributions in mathematics and astronomy, such as her paper 'On the magnetizing power of the more refrangible solar rays' in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society in 1826. She was one of the first two women to be elected to the Royal Astronomical Society in 1835 (the other was Caroline Herschel). Her outstanding science was inextricable from her powers of exposition as might be seen in her beautiful book On the Connexion of the Physical Sciences (1834), a best-seller that went through many editions and is often regarded as the first 'popular science' book. Remarkably, the third edition of the book (1836) and subsequent ones contained a discussion, based on tables of observation, about the possibility of an unknown planet perturbing Uranus. This led to the subsequent precise prediction of the position of Neptune by John Couch Adams in 1845. This lecture series for the general public on high-level topics at the interface of mathematics and other domains of inquiry commemorates the work and life of Mary Somerville.
