Chasing Clouds: How Math Simulates a Changing Climate
Advertisement
Raum KA.213
Climate change and its impact on human life rank among the greatest challenges of our era. As the prospect of limiting warming to the 1.5°C target set by the Paris Agreement slips further out of reach, effective emergency measures are becoming increasingly urgent. Assessing their effectiveness requires overcoming a key limitation in global circulation models: the poor representation of clouds and cloud-aerosol interactions. High-resolution cloud models exist but are computationally prohibitive for long-term climate simulations.
Prof. Annalisa Quaini (University of Houston) will address the challenges in numerical analysis and scientific computing for climate applications and explain why mathematical and computational innovation is essential for reliable climate predictions.
Annalisa Quaini is Professor and Associate Chair at the Department of Mathematics, University of Houston.
Organized by Prof. Dr. Steffen Basting and Prof. Dr. Anita Vrzina
