About Us

 

The UK Earth System Modelling team develops and applies Earth system models (UKESM) to further our understanding of climate change and in particular the role of Earth system processes. 

UKESM aims are to:

  • Apply existing configurations of UKESM to investigate a range of Earth system phenomena and their sensitivity to future anthropogenic forcing
  • Scientifically evaluate and document the performance of the UKESM models
  • Analyze and document future projections using UKESM
  • Provide science-based guidance on future Earth system change
  • Provide tools and user support for UK Earth system modelling research
  • Lead the development of future generations of the UKESM model
