This Session will be devoted to mixing and transport of tracers (passive, chemically or biologically active, or dynamically active) in geophysical flows (in atmosphere, ocean, or Earth's interior). The aim is to bring together contributions from theoreticians and experimentalists involved in geophysical model development and data analysis, as well as from researchers in dynamical systems theory, stochastic modelling, and related fields, to stimulate cross-fertilization. It is hoped that the session will cover topics including the role of coherent structures as barriers or as avenues for transport in the oceans and the atmosphere, the relationship of turbulent transport and mixing to Lagrangian chaos models, the impact of mixing by the flow on processes such as atmospheric chemical reactions or ocean plankton dynamics, and the relation between Lagrangian and Eulerian structures. 2)We also invite contributions from more generic geophysical experiments (not necessarily addressing mixing) on - novel experimental techniques or novel applications of established techniques - novel data analysis techniques or their application - new results from geophysical experiments of interest to the wider geophysical experimental community Preliminary List of Solicited Speakers A.
