Workshop — Seismic Reflection Centennial: Mapping the Earth Beneath Our Feet
12 Apr 2023 - 14 Apr 2023 • Norman and Stillwater, Oklahoma, United States
Organizer:
Society of Exploration Geophysicists
Abstract:
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.

Public Lecture — What's Physics got to do with Evolution?
31 May 2023 • Institute of Physics, London, United Kingdom
Organizer:
Institute of Physics (IOP)
Abstract:
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”.

Workshop — Geometry: Education, Art, and Research
07 Jul 2023 - 09 Jul 2023 • Kelowna, B.C., Canada
Organizer:
Banff International Research Station (BIRS) / UBCO
Abstract:
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.

ISHMap Symposium and Workshop — 2023 | Intersections in Map History
10 Jul 2023 - 14 Jul 2023 • Berlin, Germany
Organizer:
Max Planck Institute for the History of Science (MPIWG)
Abstract:
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.

Mary Somerville Lecture — Sor Juana Inez de la Cruz: The Poetics of Science
24 Oct 2023 • ICMS Edinburgh, United Kingdom
Organizer:
The International Centre for Mathematical Sciences (ICMS)
Abstract:
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.
