Dynamical characterization of stochastic bifurcations in a random logistic map
Posted on

The interaction of noise and non-linearity can cause sharp dynamical transitions, as appear in phenomena such as stochastic resonance or noise-induced synchronization or chaos.

In many areas of science and applied mathematics, important events often get initiated when a stochastic variable crosses a threshold value. Financial assets may be sold at a particular price, or a chemical reaction initiated when two particles come close enough.

Recurrence Spectra of European Temperature in Historical Climate Simulations
Posted on
by
Climate events linked to extremes of temperature (heatwaves/cold spells) have severe impacts on human health and natural ecosystems. Over the past few decades, the frequency and intensity of heatwaves have increased in Europe.

Seismological investigations of induced earthquakes near the Hutubi underground gas storage facility
Posted on
by
Earth scientists have long known that fluid injected into the Earth’s crust can induce earthquakes. In principle, seismic activity may also be triggered through gas extraction through the mechanism of poroelastic stress perturbation, although such events have been observed less frequently.
