It brought together researchers from Colombia, Germany, France, Italy, Ukraine, who communicated recent progress in the mathematical research related to stochastic processes with application in biophysics. The present volume collects three of the four courses held at this meeting by Angelo Valleriani, Sylvie Rœlly and Alexei Kulik. A particular aim of this collection is to inspire young scientists in setting up research goals within the wide scope of fields represented in this volume. Angelo Valleriani, PhD in high energy physics, is group leader of the team "Stochastic processes in complex and biological systems" from the Max-Planck-Institute of Colloids and Interfaces, Potsdam. Sylvie Rœlly, Docteur en Mathématiques, is the head of the chair of Probability at the University of Potsdam.

Potsdamer UNO-Konferenz am 25. Juni 2016 T2 - Potsdamer UNO-Konferenzen N2 - Der Forschungskreis Vereinte Nationen veranstaltete am 25. Juni 2016 seine dreizehnte Konferenz in Kooperation mit dem „Forum internationale Ordnung“ des Auswärtigen Amtes. Die Potsdamer UNO-Konferenzen stellen in ihrem Programm traditionell eine Verbindung von Wissenschaft und Praxis her unter Beteiligung unterschiedlicher Disziplinen. Die Konferenz 2016 widmete sich dem Thema „Die Rolle der Vereinten Nationen in der multilateralen Entwicklungszusammenarbeit“. Entwicklung als wichtiges Ziel der Vereinten Nationen und ihrer Mitgliedstaaten ist auch für andere Handlungs- und Politikfelder wichtig. Bilanz und Ausblick, die auf der Konferenz unternommen wurden, betrafen deshalb nicht nur die Entwicklungspolitik im eigentlichen Sinne – hier standen die 2015 beschlossenen Nachhaltigkeitsziele (SDGs) zur Debatte –, sondern bezogen auch umweltpolitische und menschenrechtliche Aspekte mit ein. Die Referate zum Thema Entwicklung wurden eingerahmt von zwei Vorträgen zu aktuellen UN-politischen Fragen: der Wahl des neuen Generalsekretärs der Vereinten Nationen in New York nach einem reformierten Wahlverfahren, das mehr Transparenz und für UN-Mitgliedstaaten und NGOs mehr Beteiligungsmöglichkeiten bietet, und die Neuorganisation innerhalb des Auswärtigen Amtes, was die Vereinten Nationen betrifft.

All panels on climate evolution predict future scenarios of increasing frequency and magnitude of floods which are likely to lead to huge geomorphic adjustments of river channels so major metamorphosis of fluvial systems is expected as a result of global change. Such pressures are likely to give rise to major ecological and economic changes and challenges that governments need to address as a matter of priority. Changes in river flow regimes associated with global change are therefore ushering in a new era, where there is a critical need to evaluate hydro-geomorphological hazards from headwaters to lowland areas (flooding can be not just a problem related to being under the water). A key question is how our understanding of these hazards associated with global change can be improved; improvement has to come from integrated research which includes the climatological and physical conditions that could influence the hydrology and sediment generation and hence the conveyance of water and sediments (including the river’s capacity, i.e. amount of sediment, and competence, i.e. channel deformation) and the vulnerabilities and economic repercussions of changing hydrological hazards (including the evaluation of the hydro-geomorphological risks too). Within this framework, the purpose of this international symposium is to bring together researchers from several disciplines as hydrology, fluvial geomorphology, hydraulic engineering, environmental science, geography, economy (and any other related discipline) to discuss the effects of global change over the river system in relation with floods. The symposium is organized by means of invited talks given by prominent experts, oral lectures, poster sessions and discussion sessions for each individual topic; it will try to improve our understanding of how rivers are likely to evolve as a result of global change and hence address the associated hazards of that fluvial environmental change concerning flooding. Four main topics are going to be addressed: - Modelling global change (i.e. climate and land-use) at relevant spatial (regional, local) and temporal (from the long-term to the single-event) scales. - Measuring and modelling river floods from the hydrological, sediment transport (both suspended and bedload) and channel morphology points of view at different spatial (from the catchment to the reach) and temporal (from the long-term to the single-event) scales. - Evaluation and assessment of current and future river flooding hazards and risks in a global change perspective. - Catchment management to face river floods in a changing world. We are very pleased to welcome you to Potsdam. We hope you will enjoy your participation at the International Symposium on the Effects of Global Change on Floods, Fluvial Geomorphology and Related Hazards in Mountainous Rivers and have an exciting and profitable experience. Finally, we would like to thank all speakers, participants, supporters, and sponsors for their contributions that for sure will make of this event a very remarkable and fruitful meeting. We acknowledge the valuable support of the European Commission (Marie Curie Intra-European Fellowship, Project ‘‘Floodhazards’’, PIEF-GA-2013-622468, Seventh EU Framework Programme) and the Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft (Research Training Group “Natural Hazards and Risks in a Changing World” (NatRiskChange; GRK 2043/1) as the symposium would not have been possible without their help. Without your cooperation, this symposium would not be either possible or successful.

September 2015 N2 - This volume of contributions based on lectures delivered at a school on Fourier Integral Operators held in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, 14–26 September 2015, provides an introduction to Fourier Integral Operators (FIO) for a readership of Master and PhD students as well as any interested layperson. Considering the wide spectrum of their applications and the richness of the mathematical tools they involve, FIOs lie the cross-road of many a field. This volume offers the necessary background, whether analytic or geometric, to get acquainted with FIOs, complemented by more advanced material presenting various aspects of active research in that area. N2 - Dieser Band basiert auf Vorlesungen, die in einer Schule über Fourier Integraloperatoren in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, 14. - 26. September 2015 gehalten wurden. Es bietet eine Einführung in die Fourier Integraloperatoren (FIO) und richtet sich sowohl an Masterstudierende und Promovenden als auch an interessierte Laien. Aufgrund der Breite des Spektrums ihrer Anwendungen und der Vielfalt der mathematischen Werkzeuge, die sie ins Spiel bringen, liegen FIO an der Grenze zwischen mehreren Gebieten. Dieses Band bietet sowohl die analytisch und geometrisch nötigen Kenntnisse, um sich mit dem Begriff der FIO vertraut zu machen als auch fortgeschrittenes Material für einen Einblick in verschiedene Aspekte der gegenwärtigen Forschung dieses Gebietes an.
