Apologies for cross-postings - The Isaac Newton Institute for the Mathematical Sciences would like to announce a public forum in connection with its programme "Mathematical and Statistical Approaches to Climate Modelling and Prediction". This will address such questions as: can we ever model climate accurately? Can we detect early warning signs of dramatic climate change? How can climate science help create a greener economy? Full details, including registration information, can be found at http://www.newton.ac.uk/programmes/CLP/clpw03.html. Brief details are as follows: DATE: Wednesday 24th November 2010 TIME: 14:00-19:00 PLACE: Willis Building, 51 Lime Street, London EC3M 7DQ DEADLINE FOR REGISTRATION: Wednesday 17th November 2010 PROGRAMME: 2.00 pm Welcome: Sir David Wallace, Director, Newton Institute 2.05 pm Tim Palmer (University of Oxford, and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasting): "Estimating and reducing uncertainty in climate prediction: key findings from the Newton Institute Programme" 2.30 pm Panel Discussion: The scientific uncertainties and their implications. Chair: Jonathan Leake (Science & Environment Editor, The Sunday Times). 4.00 pm Refreshments 4.30 pm Panel Discussion: Policy in the face of the uncertainties. Chair: Oliver Morton (Energy and Environment Editor, The Economist). 6.00 pm Closing remarks: Rowan Douglas, Chair, Willis Research Network.
