Communicating model uncertainty in climate information to decision makers

Updated: 5 October 2026 
Background. Climate information contains uncertainty arising from many sources. For climate information to support decision making it is important that those using it are aware of uncertainty in order to avoid maladaptation and loss of trust in institutions providing climate information and services.

Magnetically Engineered Austenitic Steels for Low Thermal Expansion and High-Temperature Strength

  Research Group: Alloy Design & Phase Transformations Research Group
Updated: 5 October 2026 
A steel can be strong at high temperature and still be difficult to use if it expands too much. In large components and joints between different alloys, repeated heating and cooling can create stresses that shorten service life. Read more

Turning fragmented climate data into decision tools: who is most at risk, and how sure are we?

Updated: 5 October 2026 
Background. Climate change does not put everyone in the same danger. Whether a heatwave, flood or drought becomes a disaster depends on where the hazard lands and on who and what is exposed. Read more
