The emphasis will be on 'thresholds' in their broadest sense as exemplified by node dynamics or interactions that are described by simple, yet possibly non-smooth or discontinuous switch-like processes. The workshop will cover both theory and applications. The meeting will have no parallel sessions, and it is expected to involve around 60 participants (with 12 main speakers) and contributed poster presentations. Speakers: Alex Arenas, Universidad Rovira i Virgili, Spain Mario Di Bernardo, University of Bristol, UK Ginestra Bianconi, Queen Mary University of London, UK Des Higham, University of Strathclyde, UK Renaud Lambiotte, University of Oxford, UK Naoki Masuda, University of Bristol, UK Peter Mucha, University of North Carolina, USA Sarah Muldoon, University at Buffalo, USA Yamir Moreno, University of Zaragoza, Spain Important dates Registration deadline: 1st June 2019 Poster abstract submission deadline: 12th April 2019. Notification of acceptance: 1st May 2019 The registration fee for the conference is 100.00 GBP. A "Tutorial Day" (covering key concepts in dynamical systems and network science) will also take place prior to the meeting (on July 21). Some financial assistance may be available to assist graduate students who attend both the training workshop and the conference.

This is a fully funded 4 year NERC CASE studentship with the UK Met Office (UKMO). Due to restrictions funding is available to UK/EU students only. Land surface models, such as UKMO's Joint UK Land Environment Simulator (JULES), describe unsaturated flow in soils through an implicit form of the Richards partial differential equation. Solutions to such a highly non-linear equation inevitably leads to numerical and accuracy issues which impact on their hydrological performance. This project concerns the implementation and testing of two new explicit unsaturated zone flow solution methods into JULES which use a velocity-based PDE for the depth in terms of the water content, either through a hodograph transformation or local mass conservation. The student will extend both approaches to account for heat flow. Applicants should hold or expect to gain a minimum of a 2:1 Degree or equivalent in Mathematics or a suitable Physical Science. To apply please submit an application for a PhD in Environmental Science at http://www.reading.ac.uk/graduateschool/prospectivestudents/gs-how-to-apply.aspx quoting the reference 'GS18-29' in the 'Scholarships applied for' box which appears within the Funding Section of your on- line application. Application deadline is 15th February, 2019.
