PhD in Quantifying Uncertainty and Spatial Dependence in Tropical Forest Forecasts for Climate Change Mitigation University of Exeter in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at the University of Exeter in Mathematics and Statistics focused on marine heatwaves , climate science , statistics , data science , and mathematical modelling . The project investigates how extreme sea temperatures vary across space and depth in the northwest European Shelf seas, and how the probability and intensity of marine heatwaves may change under future climate scenarios. The research combines extreme value theory , generalised additive models , machine learning, and hig...

PhD opportunity at the University of Leeds in the School of Earth & Environment with Dr Ruza Ivanovic. This project, “Changing climates: Unlocking the past to improve predictions of the future,” sits at the intersection of climate science, data analysis, data science, mathematical modelling, statistics, and Earth science. The research aims to improve estimates of equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS) by combining observational records from Earth’s past with advanced uncertainty quantification, m...

PhD opportunity at the University of Leeds in AI / machine learning for climate science , with a focus on mapping how future climate uncertainties and weather/climate impacts may affect Africa . The project sits in the School of Earth & Environment and is part of the UNRISK CDT . It combines climate science , meteorology , data science , data analysis , applied statistics , and mathematical modelling to develop machine-learning approaches that downscale global climate model information to local,...

PhD opportunity at the University of Leeds in the School of Mathematics (part of EPS) on uncertainty in recent global warming trends and related risks of extreme events using a global km-scale model . The project investigates the recent increase in Earth’s energy imbalance, record global mean temperatures, and the rising frequency and intensity of regional extreme events. It asks whether high-resolution climate simulations can improve understanding of climate variability and change, and whether ...

PhD opportunity at University College London in the Institute for Risk and Disaster Reduction on Compound Wind and Rainfall Extremes over Europe: understanding uncertainties from climate to financial risk . This project sits at the intersection of climate science , statistics , data science , machine learning , mathematical modelling , and applied statistics . It investigates how compound weather extremes such as winter windstorms coinciding with heavy rainfall create financial losses, and how u...
