Computational methods, in particular, those for partialdifferential equations, have experienced major developments over the pastthirty years in both algorithmic advances and applications to other fields.Computational simulation of physical phenomena has now fully joinedengineering experimentation and theoretical/analyticalanalysis as the third method of scientific investigation.As the application problems become ever complicate and challenging,it becomes more and more difficult or even impossible to solvethese problems by isolated individuals. The magnitude and complexityof the problems often require various expertise (such as field dataacquisition, modeling, mathematical analysis, computational methods,computer programming and visualization, and data analysis), hence,their solutions require persistent collective effort of internationalscientific communities of various disciplines. Also, because face toface interaction is important to effective exchange of ideas andcollaborations, it is vital to bring together researchers with similarresearch interests to conferences of various scales.To meet the need and to facilitate such an interaction,the principal investigator (PI), together with colleagues from U.S., China,and Korea, will organize the ``International Workshop on ComputationalMethods in Geosciences", which will be held from July 5-7, 2007at Xi'an Jiaotong University, China. The requested funding will beused to support U.S. researchers, in particular, graduate studentsand postdocs, to attend the workshop.The anticipated international workshop is expected to contributeto promoting, enhancing, and stimulating the cross-continentalresearch interactions and collaborations in mathematical sciences.Such community-wise research activities oftenserve the purpose of enhancing and promoting collaborationsbetween U.S. and international researchers in mathematicaland applied sciences, which in turn contributes criticallyto the course of solving challenging scientific problemssuch as flow and transport in porous media, weather prediction,nano-materials design, genome sequencing and analysis.In addition, organizing such a workshop in China willbring prominent researchers from U.S. and Europe working in suchan active scientific research area to Asia, consequently, the anticipatedworkshop will do a good service to and have a positive impact onthe international applied and computational mathematics community.

计算方法，特别是偏微分方程的计算方法，在过去三十年中无论是在算法进步还是在其他领域的应用方面都经历了重大发展。物理现象的计算模拟现已完全加入工程实验和理论/分析分析，成为第三种科学研究方法随着应用问题变得越来越复杂和具有挑战性，孤立的个人解决这些问题变得越来越困难甚至不可能。问题的规模和复杂性往往需要各种专业知识（例如现场数据采集、建模、数学分析、计算方法、计算机编程和可视化以及数据分析），因此，它们的解决方案需要各个学科的国际科学界的持续集体努力。此外，由于面对面的互动对于有效的思想交流和合作非常重要，因此将具有相似研究兴趣的研究人员聚集在一起参加各种规模的会议至关重要。为了满足需要并促进这种互动，首席研究员（PI）一起与来自美国、中国和韩国的同事将组织“地球科学计算方法国际研讨会”，该研讨会将于2007年7月5日至7日在西安交通大学举行，所申请的资金将用于支持美国研究人员，特别是研究生和博士后参加研讨会。预期的国际研讨会预计将有助于促进、加强和刺激数学科学领域的跨大陆研究互动和合作。社区明智的研究活动通常旨在加强和促进美国和国际研究人员在数学和应用科学方面的合作，这反过来又为解决具有挑战性的科学问题（例如多孔介质中的流动和传输、天气）做出了重要贡献此外，在中国举办这样一个研讨会将把在这一活跃的科学研究领域工作的美国和欧洲的杰出研究人员带到亚洲，因此，预期的研讨会将为亚洲提供良好的服务和帮助对国际应用和计算数学界产生了积极影响。
