Dear Colleague,

The International Conference on Mathematical Geophysics meets every two years and is sponsored by the Committee on Mathematical Geophysics (CMG) of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG). The 27th international conference in this series will deal with:
Dynamics in Earth Systems
and will be held June 15-20, 2008 in Longyearbyen on Spitsbergen.

This year is the international polar year, and at 78.12' north the small Norwegian town, Longyearbyen, represents a unique polar location. In june the sunlight differs very little from day to night.

All researchers using quantitative methods to study evolving Earth systems are invited. Studies that integrate field observations, laboratory experiments, and theoretical models are especially welcome. Particular focus will be given to new quantitative methods that offer the possibility of significant progress in our understanding of Earth processes. Problems of interest include (but are not limited to) fracture, ranging from ice sheets to earthquakes; geophysical fluid dynamics, ranging from internal and surficial flows to oceanic and atmospheric dynamics; and quantitative aspects of the earth's biological, chemical, and climatic evolution.
