The Climate Impacts Modelling (CIM) group are a team of scientists who work with and develop integrated models for assessing climate change impacts. The team focuses on climate change and agriculture, water resources and health. We are part of the Earth System Science.
The Climate Impacts Modelling team aims to :
- Apply and develop the JULES model as a flexible integrated impacts model for agriculture and water
- This will help build regional, global, multi-timescale earth system models which include robust key impacts
Our key activities are:
- Integrated modelling of agriculture-water-climate systems: Can we develop tools which better represent climate impacts in changing earth systems?
- Assessing future climate impacts: Can these tools be applied to provide more robust advice for climate adaptation and mitigation?
Our team members are:
- Dr Pete Falloon
- Camilla Mathison
- Ron Kahana
- Inika Taylor
Some of our current projects include:
- EU project EUPORIAS (European Provision Of Regional Impacts Assessments on Seasonal and Decadal Timescales), led by the Met Office (2012-present)
- NERC Hydrology-phosphorus interactions under changing climate and land-use: overcoming uncertainties and challenges for prediction to 2050 (NUTCAT-2050) project (Changing Water Cycles programme) (Changing Water Cycles programme) led by the University of Lancaster (started August 2013).
- National Institute for Health Research Health Protection Research Unit (NIHR HPRU) in Environmental Change and Health (2014-present)
- High-End Climate Impacts and eXtremes (HELIX)
