In particular, the University of Reading contributed through the organisations of the scientific programme &#8220;Mathematics for the Fluid Earth&#8221; hosted at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newton.ac.uk\/\">Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences<\/a> in October-December 2013. Further activities complemented the INI programme. A selection of past training and dissemination activities can be found in the <a href=\"https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/cmpe\/past-activities\/\">Past Activities<\/a> section of this website. Furthermore, the CMPE activities were in close connection with the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training <a href=\"http:\/\/mpecdt.org\/\">Mathematics of Planet Earth<\/a>, run jointly by the Imperial College London and the University of Reading.<\/p>\n<p>More recently, members of CMPE organised the inaugural INI Satellite programme <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newton.ac.uk\/event\/gfd\/\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Geophysical fluid dynamics; from mathematical theory to operational prediction<\/span><\/a> at the University of Reading.
