Expert judgement and communication of uncertainty in the production of climate information

This PhD position at the University of Leeds focuses on the provision of weather and climate information services to support decision making, with a particular emphasis on how uncertainties are characterised and communicated. The project aims to explore the role of expert judgement in the development and dissemination of climate and weather information, and how this influences the understanding and use of such information by decision makers. Students will engage with interdisciplinary research at the intersection of climate science, meteorology, risk assessment, and communication, contributing to improved strategies for uncertainty communication in environmental decision support. The University of Leeds offers a vibrant research environment with access to leading experts and resources in climate and environmental sciences.
