Our three-year consortium project brings together the UK climate modelling, statistical modelling, and impacts communities to work closely together for the first time on developing risk-based prediction for decision making in the face of climate variability and change
The project team includes researchers from the universities of Leeds, Exeter, Oxford, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Liverpool, Reading, the London School of Economics and the Plymouth Marine Laboratory. Project partners include the Met Office, Environment Agency and CAFOD. Our work will feed directly into future IPCC and Met Office assessments of climate change.
Two articles in nature journals highlighting the value of robust treatments of uncertainty:
Global studies using crop-climate models are becoming increasingly common. How should such studies deal with uncertainty? Here, an EQUIP scientist argues that a focus on fundamental bio-physical processes is needed. http://www.nature.com/nclimate/journal/v1/n2/full/nclimate1098.html
Following an interdisciplinary workshop on climate extremes that brought together climate scientists, statisticians and [...]
