Connecting weather fluctuations to trends in climate: should really consider replicating (Min et. al. 2011) and (Pall et. al. 2011).
Ooh.. David’s Nature Climate paper (McCollum et. al. 2011). (Does UC Davis really not have access to this journal?)
Sebastian mentioned his advisor’s work oninverting the sphere without creating a fold, including a proof through a series of physical models made with chickenwire. Math is crazy.
Reviewing Sebastian’s manuscript on stochastic sinks at lab meeting. Clear writing and one of my favorite cocktail-party results - persistence of coupled sink habitats. A must read.
** Integrating the densities instead of simulating probability distributions for the stochastic population dynamics would make the most sense. Extra noise terms involve high-dimensional intergrals, consider the cubature R package.
Excellent lab group meeting given by Jamie today, population genetics results with red noise, extinction results. Reminded me of my NSF proposal, seeclassic red noise results, NSF proposal., andthis calculation.
Progress on pollen data.
