This National Meeting is held jointly with the Royal Statistical Society.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Climate models produce different projections of future climate change under identical pathways of future greenhouse gases. This meeting will highlight recent studies that have attempted to quantify those uncertainties using different approaches.

The meeting will be followed by mulled wine, mince pies and Christmas Carols.

 

Please note that the quality of the audio recordings for this meeting is not up to the normal standard, due to a recording problem that Imperial had.
