Description:
The need for accurate and reliable decisions in the subsurface geosciences presents
fundamental scientific challenges. Prediction must come with estimates of levels of accuracy,
limits of applicability and degrees of confidence that can be placed in the results. This
workshop will present an overview of some of the main issues and their interrelationships. The
following topics will be emphasized:
(1) Upscaling of multiphase flows,
(2) uncertainty quantification for the geosciences,
(3) analysis of the potential of new experimental methods for characterization of subsurface states to reduce uncertainties in prediction,
(4) integration of subsystem models into large scale computational frameworks.
