21/09/2009: £1.4m of NERC funding awarded to End-to-end Quantification of Uncertainty for Impacts Prediction (EQUIP)

£1.4m NERC funding over 3 years has been awarded to End-to-end Quantification of Uncertainty for Impacts Prediction (EQUIP), part of the Quantifying Uncertainty Programme.

EQUIP brings together the UK climate modelling and impacts communities to work closely together for the first time on quantifying uncertainty and developing risk-based prediction for decision making.

EQUIP is a collaboration between University of Leeds, University of Liverpool, University of Oxford, University of Reading, University of Edinburgh, University of Exeter, Newcastle University, London School of Economics, Plymouth Marine Laboratory.

Confirmed contributing partners are the Met Office (Hadley Centre), Environment Agency and CAFOD.

Additional partners are welcome to become members of EQUIP.

EQUIP will engage Living With Environmental Change partners and involve a range of networking with users and is expected to start its activities in January 2010.
