 3:30 PM  STATISTICS AND PROBABILITY SEMINAR  - Room 447 MSC
          Craig Zirbel, Dept. of Mathematics and Statistics, BGSU. 
          "Lagrangian observations on homogeneous random flows"
          Abstract: Imagine an ocean and all the currents in it.
            Model the ocean's velocity field as a random vector field
            in space and time.  Its probability law is a description
            of the joint distributions of the velocities at different
            locations and at different times.  Now imagine a particle
            drifting with the currents.  Its velocity is a random
            process in time (time series); these are `Lagrangian
            observations' of the ocean's velocity field.  We are
            interested in the relationship between the probability
            laws of the two processes.
