Mathematical modelling
Barbara Hardy Institute researchers develop and test mathematical models for a broad range of applications, including:
- Climate variables (forecasting and time series analysis)
- Renewable energy utilisation
- Climate change and risk analysis
- Heat transfer and energy efficient buildings
- Water harvesting
- Ecological footprints
