Current projects include statistical modelling to estimate the property risk associated with climate change; developing a “climate chatbot” that uses large language models to create natural language interfaces into climate science reports; developing applications for geospatial foundation models. Alongside working on projects allocated by the JCEEI Co-Directors, the JCEEI Research Fellow will be expected to develop their own research activity related to the JCEEI aims and to publish academic papers in relevant journals.
