Given the complexity of the climate problem, a quantum leap in computing capabilities will be necessary to handle next-generation climate models. In this lecture, Dr Robert Bishop will discuss efforts to build an International Centre for Earth Simulation (ICES) capable of finding new insights into weather, climate, environment and disaster risk reduction. |
