I will explain the concept of transit-time distributions (TTDs) todiagnose passive tracer transport in geophysical fluids, like theEarth's ocean and atmosphere. The TTD is directly related to the Green'sfunction to the advection/diffusion equation for the concentration of adynamically-passive trace substance. Diagnosing and interpreting theTTD, ...

While the theory of nonlinear waves in partial differential equations is very well developed, understanding travelling waves in systems posed on lattices is challenging, and many basic questions remain open. Indeed, travelling waves on lattices can be found only by solving functional differential equations of mixed mode, which are ill-posed as i...

We present results for an advection-reaction-diffusion model describing malignant tumour (i.e. skin cancer) invasion. Numerical solutions indicate that both smooth and shock-fronted travelling wave solutions exist for this model. We verify the existence of both type of these solutions using techniques from geometric singular perturbation theory ...
