Topic: 

Hidden Patterns Revealed by Noise: semi-arid vegetation patterns

Description: 

A deterministic model may sometimes seem to be a good description of the dynamics of an observed system but may have a long-term stable constant limit, whereas observations of the system itself show a noisy pattern. An example is semi-arid vegetation patterns. Adding noise to the model may well reveal the pattern. In this talk I show some photos, talk about some math, and show some simulations. This is not a magic show.
