 Overview

This Summer School, jointly organised by the EPSRC MFC CDT and iMPT, aims to bring together experts from different fields to explore the methodological and practical aspects of uncertainty quantification in climate data, models, and simulations.

Topics covered will include, but are not limited to:

• Uncertainty quantification methodology
• Data assimilation
• Statistical modelling of extreme events
• Characterising and modelling uncertainties in observational data
• Integrating machine learning tools into climate simulations
