we are calling for papers on numerical methods for environmental flow modeling for a topical collection in the international journal on geomathematics. submissions open july 12th, 2021.
boosts are appreciated.

are you familiar with south asian history? what big events stand out? where did you learn them?
finalised the implementation of a wavelet-based multiresolution mesh generator for rainfall-runoff simulations. multiresolution meshes try to guess where flow in the region will be complex. usually we use topography and assume that smooth regions can be kept coarse, because flow in these regions will be smooth and can be captured accurately at coarser resolution.
+ implemented in c
+ depends on the triangle mesh generator library
+ shared memory parallelised

five ways to ensure flood-risk research helps the most vulnerable. article in nature.
"the killing of a chinese bookie" is a noir film from 1976. the sleazy club owner cosmo vitelli owes debt to a gambling joint that he can't pay back. instead of paying the debt with money, he is offered to murder a chinese bookie instead.

#LAfilms number four was "rebel without a cause" with james dean 
. it's a fun watch about teen drama with some exciting action scenes.

New and extended edition of "Asiatische Deutsche" has been recently published by Assoziation A. It's the first collection of essays reflecting on Asian German perspectives.
Edited by Kien Nghi Ha, with contributions from Noa Ha, Angelika Nguyen, and many others.
In German.
for our third #LAfilms, we watched "mulholland drive" by david lynch.

second entry in our #LAfilms series.
we watched "sunset boulevard", a bizarre film noir from 1950. a failing screenwriter is found shot dead in the swimming pool of a has-been silent movie film star.

We just binge-watched We Are Lady Parts and it's great! Watch it if you have the chance!
We will start the session on modelling environmental flow across interfaces in about 2 hours from now. (9:20 am CET)

“Imagine the amazing good fortune of the generation that gets to see the end of the world. This is as marvelous as being there in the beginning.” ― Jean Baudrillard
Working version of wavelet analysis-based unstructured mesh generation. I carry out a wavelet analysis of flow metrics to get the mesh below. Regions with smooth flow are kept coarse, regions with rapid changes are refined.
Just watched Miracle Mile. It's a weird little 80s film that starts as a romantic comedy and ends with nuclear war.
Just signed up for the Workshop on New Directions in Numerical Linear Algebra and High Performace Computing
