The first Springer Brief in the Mathematics of Planet Earth

The first Springer Brief in the Mathematics of Planet Earth series has been published. MPE CDT PhD student Tobias Schwedes has collaborated with Imperial academics Dr David Ham and Prof. Matthew Piggott, as well as Dr Simon Funke of the Simula Research Laboratory in Oslo to present an in-depth exposition of PDE-constrained optimisation using the finite element method. The role of the proper inner product in achieving accurate, mesh-independent convergence presented mathematically and demonstrated through the example of the optimal placement of marine power turbines in coastal waters. The book is available on the Springer website at: https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-319-59483-5
