Decade Collaborative Centre for Coastal Resilience and CMCC Foundation organized the webinar “USCG Search and Rescue Optimal Planning System (SAROPS): Capabilities, Environmental Models, Requirements, and Applications”.

Speaker: Jeffrey Weiss, University of Colorado Boulder

CMCC Foundation together with the Decade Collaborative Centre for Coastal Resilience and Department of Physics and Astronomy of the University of Bologna will co-organise a seminar at the Aula Magna featuring Professor Jeffrey Weiss.

The seminar will present recent research on the statistical mechanics of non-equilibrium systems and their relevance to climate variability, offering insights into how complex physical processes shape large-scale climate dynamics.

Nonequilibrium steady-states have preferred patterns of variability dictated by the presence of nonzero phase-space currents. In the climate system, these currents manifest as climate oscillations such as the El-Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO). Here we discuss new results on nonequilibrium steady-states motivated by this connection.
