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
