School of Mathematical Sciences researchers win EPA award to study extreme climate change (28/10/12)
UCD School of Mathematical Sciences researchers Dr Andrew Parnell and Dr Conor Sweeney have been awarded a grant by the EPA to study the nature of extreme climate changes in Ireland.
The project, entitled 'Extreme events in calibrated climate models: impacts for Ireland' will use recently developed methods in statistical spatio-temporal Extreme Value Theory combined with state of the art regional climate models to assess the past, present and future behaviour of extreme weather events in Ireland.
