DESCRIPTION:Daniel Schertzer\nEnvironmental systems are complicated\, but 
 also complex: not only do they have a large number of components correspon
 ding to a wide spectrum of scientific disciplines\, but their nonlinear in
 teractions generate an extreme variability over a wide range of space-time
  scales. This is a challenge for observations\, theories\, models and appl
 ications. For instance\, classical environmental observables are scale sen
 sitive\, whereas the corresponding processes must be understood and repres
 ented across scales rather than at a given scale. This also points out nee
 ded changes in environmental science education. \nAtmospheric dynamics\, p
 recipitations\, floods\, as well as city resilience\, will be used to illu
 strate key questions\, such as the determination of scaling ranges and ani
 sotropies\, quantification of intermittency and extremes.
