Abstract: How can mathematics help combat the most pressing issue of our age? Join climate scientist and mathematician Dr Emily Shuckburgh, who will be talking about her research on modelling localised effects of climate change including floods, droughts and extreme weather. A world-leading climate scientist and science communicator, Dr Emily Shuckburgh is the Director of Cambridge Zero. She is also Reader in Environmental Data Science in the Department of Computer Science and Technology. In her previous role at the British Antarctic Survey she led a national research programme on polar climate change. She is co-author of the Ladybird book on Climate Change.
