Francisco is a mathematician and environmental scientist, with a primary interest in climate and ocean phenomena. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Francisco joined GRI in November 2021. Since then, much of his work has been focused on climate prediction, particularly on computational ensemble design and uncertainty quantification, as tools to provide robust and reliable knowledge to climate information users and consumers (such as economists, decision makers and journalists).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At GRI, Francisco co-leads the £1.97m UKRI\/Defra-funded ATTENUATE<\/a> project, a collaborative consortium focused on unlocking private sector investment in UK climate adaptation. Central to this project is the creation of mathematically\/physically robust climate storylines, which communicate evolving climate information and will play a key role in testing adaptation finance solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
