Mathematics for our Future Climate: Theory, Data and Simulation (MFC CDT)
A dynamic and interdisciplinary PhD programme that harnesses the power of mathematics to address the urgent issues presented by climate change.
The MFC CDT will train 90 highly skilled mathematicians to become future leaders in innovative research, developing environmental prediction technologies, interpreting very large datasets relating to the Earth system, and modelling the risk associated with extreme weather and climate change.
Further, they will translate their research into applications in the public and industrial sectors dealing with risk and uncertainty quantification for weather, oceans and climate.

Highlights:
- Innovative Research Opportunities
- Interdisciplinary Collaboration
- Cohort Culture
- Tailored Internships
- State-of-the-Art Facilities
- Mentorship from Renowned Faculty
The programme will focus on four areas:
- Fundamental mathematical advances needed to understand and anticipate the climate crisis, and to quantify and mitigate the risks associated with extreme events and cascading impacts of a changing climate
- Solutions to tackle climate change, enhance sustainability, and ensure economic prosperity and fairness by optimizing the effectiveness of renewable energy and the trade-off between mitigation and adaptation actions
- Methods needed to exploit large-scale computing and big data
- Tools to enable transparent, accessible, scalable, user- relevant and user-friendly analysis of real-time data
