The entire day is conducted in English.
Guest
ACELI is delighted to announce the exceptional presence of Professor Tim Palmer at ELI-Day 2025.
Tim Palmer is a well-known mathematical physicist, professor emeritus of Oxford University (UK).
He was involved in the first five IPCC assessment reports, and was co-chair of the international scientific steering group of the World Climate Research Programme project (CLIVAR) on climate variability and predictability.
The theoretical side of his work explores questions around where climatic processes on different space and time scales interact. On the practical side, he has developed and worked on the application of weather and climate forecasts systems for malaria prediction, flood forecasting, crop yield estimation, and more. Most recently his research has focused on simulating climate at extremely high resolution.
Professor Tim Palmer is giving a keynote talk entitled "A 'CERN' for Climate Change".
Registration
Participation is free, but registration is required.
Thank you all for being part of this unique event at the Earth and Life Institute!
