My Climate Risk Interdisciplinary Learning Group

For the October session of the “My Climate Risk Interdisciplinary Learning Group” (MCRILG), we are delighted to be joined by Professor David Stainforth, Professorial Research Fellow in the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at the London School of Economics, and an Honorary Professor in the Physics Department at the University of Warwick. 

David’s research focuses on climate science and its relationship with climate economics and policy. He focuses particularly on uncertainty analysis and on how academic assessments can better support decision-making in the context of climate change. His new book, Predicting Our Climate Future, has recently been published by Oxford University Press.

David will draw on his extensive research as he discusses two research papers: Issues in the interpretation of climate model ensembles to inform decisions and Tales of future weather.
