Mathematical developments in geophysical fluid dynamics
Workshop 2: Instabilities and transitions in geophysical flows
May 18 to 22, 2026 - IHP, Paris
Instabilities and sharp transitions are ubiquitous in geophysical fluid dynamics (GFD). This Workshop will gather experts on instabilities in GFD as well as on abrupt transitions (saddle-node bifurcations).
