ANNOUNCEMENTS
 

IMA Special Workshop: Frontiers of Mathematics in Geosciences
March 5-6, 2001
Sponsored by the Divisions of Mathematical Sciences (DMS),
Atmospheric Sciences (ATM), Earth Sciences (EAR) and Ocean
Sciences (OCE), National Science Foundation. This is
a brainstorming meeting, with about 80 invited participants
from a broad range of fields in the geosciences, mathematics
and statistics, to identify geoscience research topics that
would benefit from a sophisticated mathematical approach, or
are likely to stimulate new mathematics research. One of
NSF's hopes is that this meeting will provide an assessment of
research opportunities that NSF can use in future programs.

Special Biocomplexity Workshop: Evolutionary Consequences
of Biological Invasions, April 6-7, 2001 (details to appear soon)

We value your suggestions, and your ideas for future programs.
