On July 9, the Marine Computational Mathematics Research Team from the School of Mathematical Sciences hosted two eminent speakers: Zhenya Song, Director of the Physical Oceanography Laboratory at the First Institute of Oceanography and professor Lanning Wang from Beijing Normal University. The event was chaired by Associate Professor Cui Guo, Director of the Information and Computing Research Center and attended by faculty members, young researchers and graduate students.

Zhenya Song delivered a lecture titled “Novel Coupled Wave-Climate Models”, where he outlined the technical challenges faced in Earth system modeling and introduced the development and prospects of the FIO-ESM wave-Earth system model. He delved into topics such as the integration of numerical simulation with machine learning, efficient parallel algorithms and load-balancing strategies in Earth system modeling. Song’s presentation was followed by an engaging discussion with the audience.

Professor Lanning Wang shared the major achievements of his research team and highlighted the critical mathematical problems encountered in climate modeling. He emphasized the need for interdisciplinary collaboration to address complex challenges and drive innovation. Faculty members and students engaged in in-depth discussions with the speakers on issues such as homogeneity in high-performance computing, compressible Navier-Stokes equations for low Mach numbers and the decoupling of finite element and Runge-Kutta numerical algorithms. These discussions culminated in a consensus to explore further collaborative research.
