DESCRIPTION:Buoyancy forces result from density variations\, often due to 
 temperature variations\, in the presence of gravity. Buoyancy-driven fluid
  flows shape the weather\, ocean and atmosphere dynamics\, the climate\, a
 nd the structure of the earth and stars. In 1916 Lord Rayleigh published a
  paper entitled "On Convection Currents in a Horizontal Layer of Fluid\, w
 hen the Higher Temperature is on the Under Side" introducing the minimal m
 athematical model of buoyancy-driven fluid flow now known as Rayleigh-Bén
 ard convection.  For a century this model has served as a primary paradigm
  of complex nonlinear dynamics displaying spontaneous symmetry breaking an
 d pattern formation\, chaos and turbulence. Here we describe progress and 
 challenges for the analysis of Rayleigh's model in the strongly nonlinear 
 regime of turbulent convection.\n\n_This lecture is intended to be accessi
 ble to all\, including undergraduates\, who are very welcome to attend._
