The 31st edition of the Conference on Mathematical Geophysics (CMG) of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) took place in Paris from June 6th to 10th, 2016. The CMG takes place every two years all over the world, and covers a wide spectrum of current research topics in Geophysics: physical based modelling and measurements in Geophysics, using mathematical and numerical approaches. The subjects of study span across many geophysical topics, like e.g. terrestrial, atmospheric and oceanic flows, seismology, modelling of seismic sources and eruptions. This conference is traditionally dedicated to theoretical and modelling works but in 2016, it also emphasized works with an experimental side or related to experimental investigation -- in particular conceptual experiments that address physical mechanisms and scaling laws.
