The 2024 ICCS Summer School - sharing research software engineering skills to develop climate science

17 July 2024

After the very successful Cross-VESRI convening the ICCS quickly turned their attention to the Summer school in the second half of last week. Whilst it did make for an intense week, having the two events back-to-back allowed for a large international attendance from Virtual Earth System Research Institute project...

The 2024 Cross-VESRI Convening: Collaboration and Education across VESRI projects

17 July 2024

Last week the Institute of Computing for Climate Science hosted the Cross-VESRI convening in conjunction with Schmidt Sciences, the funder of the Virtual Earth System Research Institute (VESRI) and the ICCS. rse_johns_vesri.jpeg For more information about our collaborators and the VESRI project teams see here and for more...

Collaboration Across Continents - My visit to NCAR.

26 June 2024

The following blog is written by Jack Atkinson . Jack is a senior research software engineer at the ICCS who spent two weeks in Boulder, Colorado, at NCAR, working closely with model developers in an effort to make a breakthrough in an ongoing project. The visit also gave Jack the opportunity to share his own expertise and...

Dominic co-chairs the 1st ACM Workshop on Programming for the Planet in London

22 May 2024

The 1st ACM Workshop on Programming for the Planet brought together researchers from computer science to discuss how to close the gap between state-of-the-art programming methods being developed in academia and the use of programming in climate analysis, modelling, forecasting, policy, and diplomacy. The event was co-...

Communications, Networks and Branding at ICCS

19 December 2023

The following blog is written by Aleksandra Higson . After an initial two-month summer internship, she continued on into December, working a variety of multi-media communications for the Institute of Computing for Climate Science (ICCS). What a whirlwind of an experience! Interning with ICCS meant that I could have a go at...

ICCS provides essential training in software engineering ahead of Open Science Conference in Rwanda

8 December 2023

A select team travelled to Kigali, Rwanda to provide pre-conference training for the first ever World Climate Research Programme conference to be held in Africa. Just days before 1,400 experts gathered to discuss the latest developments in climate science, ICCS delivered a hands-on session demonstrating practical tools and...

ICCS Intern Uses Machine Learning to Predict Where Chemicals Like CFCs are Concentrated in the Ocean

9 November 2023

Myles Ng worked on the mapping of oceanic heat and carbon uptake using machine learning under the supervision of Dr Laura Cimoli of ICCS. The following blog outlines his experiences contributing to the world leading research. Going into the project, there were two main things I had hoped to take away from it. I was excited...

AI: Where Are We Going?

31 October 2023

With the UK’s AI Summit taking place in London on the first week of November, ICCS has participated in an initiative that invites the public to speak about their hopes and fears regarding AI. In a collaborative effort to involve members of the public in conversations with scientists, Cambridge University’s ai@cam , the...

Reflections on the 2023 Gaussian Processes Summer School: Bicycle Racing, Multiple Dimensions and AI

28 October 2023

During my internship at Cambridge University, I learned to apply Gaussian processes (GPs), a type of machine learning, to model ocean currents. Following my last week, I was invited to attend the Gaussian Processes Summer School hosted by the University of Manchester. This event gave me the opportunity to discover the...

ICCS oceanographer builds innovative road map to better understand how waves tumble and break deep in the ocean

18 October 2023

Dr Laura Cimoli of ICCS co-led a workshop that brought together a mixture of ocean explorers, conservationists, and other climate scientists to come up with the best way to observe, interpret and model turbulent mixing. This occurs when waves form and travel in the ocean interior. They act just like the waves that break on...

About Us

Computational modelling is key to climate science. But models are becoming increasingly complex as we seek to understand our world in more depth and model it at higher fidelity. The Institute of Computing for Climate Science studies and supports the role of software engineering, computer science, artificial intelligence, and data science within climate science.

The institute comprises a collaboration between Cambridge Zero, the Departments of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (host department of the institute), Computer Science and Technology, and University Information Services at the University of Cambridge.
