Ian Enting: Current MASCOS projects

Population Monte Carlo

Joint work with Andrew Rechnitzer This project aims to adapt Monte Carlo techniques from statistical physics in order to investigate models of global change and other natural systems exhibiting possible thresholds, bifurcations and instabilities. (MORE).

Statistics of CO2 inversions

This project is undertaken within the TransCom project, jointly with Anna Michalak of U. Michigan and other members of the TransCom group.

The aim is to develop and apply statistical diagnostics for synthesis inversion of CO2 and similar trace gases. (MORE).

A related project, being conducted jointly with CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research, addresses statistical modelling of episodic events, in order to define appropriate inversion techniques for synoptic-scale trace gas data.

Automatic differentiation

A project, being conducted jointly with CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research, is investigating techniques based on automatic differentiation for data assimilation in terrestrial carbon models.

Stochastic cellular automata

This project analyses stochastic cellular automata as special cases of Gibbs-Markov random fields. Objectives include use of cellular automata in modelling real-world systems and improved understanding of the deterministic limit. (MORE).
