The aim of this LMS Joint Research Group Grant, Scheme 3, Analysis, Geometry and Stochastics for Planet Earth is to investigate current challenges in mechanics, dynamics and earth system which require an intricate integration of techniques from geometry, analysis and stochastic processes. A core question in many applications in geo-fluid dynamics is how to model uncertainty and stability using random perturbations. We want to develop systematic ways to infer appropriate noise terms from the geometric structure and/or fluctuations of microscopic (sub-scale) origin. We now start to understand that the geometry of noise terms can be linked to the structure of the underlying non-equilibrium small-scale systems. Progress in this area will require cross-fertilization across the aforementioned areas. There have been substantial developments in stochastic analysis in the last two decades, but most of these remain of a theoretical nature, with no straightforward application to earth systems yet.
