Perhaps the greatest challenge facing human society is climate change. The impact of droughts and floods can be devastating, so tools to predict their occurrence and magnitude are of great importance.

The Hydro-Climate Informatics Group is developing new information tools to quantify the extent of future climate change, and to make this information available to decision makers engaged in long term planning.

Historically climate research has focused either on using statistical models of observations of the climate system or developing computer-based models. Our research focus is quite different as we are developing methods to couple statistical models for observations with physical models.

Our research work is aligned with three key science themes:

• Forecasting climate extremes in time and space
• Nonlinear modelling techniques
• Highly Structured Stochastic Systems
