Emerging biological problems are bringing many interesting and challenging opportunities for new mathematics.  This workshop  will focus on recent mathematical developments in PDE and related models arising from Ecology, Epidemiology and Environmental Science. Both mathematical analysis and scientific computation will be emphasized in the talks.  Biological and environmental topics of interest include bio-diversity issues, directed movement of organisms in heterogeneous landscapes, nonlocal dispersal of species, free boundary problems from ecology, spatial spread of disease, environmental sustainability and global change.  This workshop aims to promote further synthesis between mathematical ecology, mathematical epidemiology and environmental sciences and to influence future research directions.
