Inter-departmental collaboration wins grant to develop and implement a coupled hydrological and climate model

An EPSRC Bridging the Gap grant has be won by a collaboration between the Environmental Change Institute, the Oxford e-Research Centre and the Met Office to pilot techniques for distributed computation and uncertainty analysis of rainfall and runoff models. The project leverages the expertise of both the Water Security Network and the Oxford Climate Research Network, bringing together researchers in water engineering, ECT networks and distributed systems, and hydrology and climate science. The pilot project will run from October 2012 until March 2013.
