Leonard Smith was invited to give the Charney Lecture at the AGU Fall Meeting 2013, 9-13 December 2013, San Francisco. The lecture was entitled: ‘Predictability, Probability(s) and Physical Insight’. Abstract. For a list of other CATS abstracts see CATS at AGU 2013.
Keith Beven gave a keynote talk on ‘On uncertainty and probability in predicting natural hazard risks using models’ to the ecorisQ association General Assembly 2013, Geneva.
Leonard Smith was invited to participate in a limited two-day workshop assessing uncertainties for extrapolations, Las Vegas. The workshop goal was to flesh out principles and approaches for quantifying uncertainty in extrapolative, model-based predictions, and included a field trip to the Nevada National Security Site.
