Science and impacts of climate change
In this research area we work to expand our knowledge of how climate change will affect people and the environment, and the strengths and weaknesses of how we know it. Our current research includes understanding climate uncertainty and the epistemic foundations of climate information, developing empirical risk assessments, improving climate-economic models and using mathematical insights from non-linear dynamical systems and stochastic processes to guide the design of modelling experiments.
