Seventh Seminar Retreat 2011

The Seventh Annual IAM Seminar Retreat was organised by Prof. Dan Coombs (IAM Faculty, Mathematics), Prof. Neil Balmforth (IAM Director, Earth and Ocean Sciences and Mathematics) and Dr. Marek Labecki (IAM Research/IT Manager), and took place on Friday, April 8th, 2011. After two consecutive years at different retreat locations, we returned once again to Minnekhada Lodge in the beautiful Minnekhada Regional Park. We had a record number of 51 participants and 18 top-notch talks covering a variety of topics in applied mathematics (see the Retreat Schedule). During lunch break, most of us took a refreshing walk around the marshes and woods of Minnekhada Park, and hiked up its highest point, High Knoll (click here for a trail map). This was arguably our best seminar retreat so far. See the Retreat Schedule and Retreat Pictures for more details of this fantastic event.
