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...

Registration open for in-person workshop on Bayesian Machine Learning as a Tool for Climate Scientists

16 October 2023

Registration open for in-person workshop on Bayesian Machine Learning as a Tool for Climate Scientists ICCS is pleased to announce that registration is open for a new workshop in March, organised by Dr Henry Moss. This workshop hosted by the Institute of Computing for Climate Science (ICCS) at the University of Cambridge...

ICCS software engineers are making waves in the field of climate science, combining machine learning with climate modelling

20 September 2023

In an International Collaboration of the Virtual Earth System Research Institute, ICCS Research Software Engineers (RSEs) Jack Atkinson, Athena Elafrou, Simon Clifford and Tom Meltzer partnered with Minah Yang, Laura Mansfield, Dave Connelly, Aditi Sheshadri, Qiang Sun and Ed Gerber of DataWave to optimise a PyTorch-...

Tales from the North Atlantic with Dr Laura Cimoli

4 September 2023

The oceans are changing. As the largest carbon sink, they absorb more carbon dioxide than all the trees and plants on land combined. Oceans also absorb the majority of excess heat caused by greenhouse gas emissions. As a consequence, waters are becoming warmer, more acidic, depleted of oxygen, less nutrient-rich and...

Scientists reveal how underwater waves influence where absorbed carbon goes and how long it stays under the sea.

18 August 2023

An international team of scientists led by the Cambridge University Institute of Computing for Climate Science recently explored the role of deep sea turbulence in the regulation of Atlantic currents. A global network of currents helps regulate our climate, by removing heat and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and...

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.
