Our research is strongly collaborative, with staff active in a number of the University’s institutes and centres, including:
Collaborations to shape the future of our planet
We are part of the larger School of Mathematical, Physical and Computational Sciences, where we partner on research with other departments including our world-leading Department of Meteorology.
We are a partner in the £16m EPSRC Mathematics for our Future Climate Centre for Doctoral Training (MFC CDT) with Imperial College London and the University of Southampton. This is an interdisciplinary initiative that harnesses the power of mathematics to address the urgent issues presented by climate change. PhD project areas are split into mathematical theory and numerical modelling of fundamental oceanic and atmospheric processes, analysis of data and assimilation with weather and climate models, and mathematical applications related to the response to climate change. Five cohorts of PhD students will be trained by the MFC CDT (2024 - 2032).
Previously, we were a partner in the EPSRC Mathematics of Planet Earth Centre for Doctoral Training with Imperial College London (2013 - 2023). This CDT provided PhD training in the mathematical and computational techniques needed to understand, predict and quantify risk and uncertainty for extreme weather and climate change.
