SUMMARY:The signature hidden in the deformation of a free surface - Mathie
 u Sellier (University of Canterbury\, New Zealand)

DESCRIPTION:The accurate modelling of geophysical flows often requires inf
 ormation which is difficult to measure and therefore poorly quantified. Su
 ch information may relate to the fluid properties or an unknown boundary c
 ondition\, for example. The premise of this talk is that when the flow is 
 bounded by a free surface\, the deformation of this free surface contains 
 useful information which can be used to infer such unknown quantities. The
  increasing availability of free surface data through remote sensing using
  drones and satellites provides the impetus to develop new mathematical me
 thods and numerical tools to interpret the signature embedded in the free 
 surface deformation. This talk will explore recent examples drawn from gla
 ciology and volcanology for which free surface data can successfully be us
 ed to recover unknown parameters or reconstruct an unknown field.
