... Energy balance in a planetary atmosphere . The earth is heated by solar radiation; a fraction of the energy absorbed is re-radiated. The temperature within Earth's biosphere depends on the balance between energy absorbed and re-radiated. Certain gases (carbon dioxide, methane) are very efficient at trapping the re-radiated flux . ... More energy leads to higher temperatures - many possible . ... Consider Venus - atmosphere dominated by carbon dioxide . ...

Galaxies are the building blocks of our Universe, and star-forming molecular clouds are the building blocks of galaxies. There is now growing interest in the possibility that star formation on small scales is linked to the galactic environment on large scales. The aim of this International Conference is to explore the possibility that cosmic gas accretion regulates galaxy growth, star formation, and many other properties of galaxies throughout cosmic time. ...

... We study ergodic properties of random maps defined as collections of nonsingular maps $f_1,\dots,f_w$ from a compact metric space $(X,\rho)$ into itself taken with probabilities $p_1,\dots,p_w$ ($\sum_i^wp_i=1$) and considered as Markov processes on $X$. ... In the first situation, when the random map is expanding on average, we mainly follow ideas borrowed from the theory of piecewise expanding maps and the corresponding Banach space is a version of the space of functions of bounded variation on $X...
