“Our overall objective is to build a community, promote opportunities for collaboration and share our experience and knowledge.”
Overview
At the ZI Institute, we hold a strong belief that modelling, data, and AI-related technological developments serve a key role in climate actions, particularly in:
Supporting interdisciplinary modelling efforts in delivering sustainability and adaptability for the benefit of both our environment and society.
Modelling, data science, and AI applied to scientific and engineering approaches towards a clean, green, circular, resilient, and adaptable society.
Modelling and assessing innovative solutions to accelerate the development and deployment of net zero solutions to reduce the impact of climate change and achieve sustainability.
Physical and AI-based modelling, predicting, and mitigating the impact of climatic extremes on infrastructure, natural environment, and built environment.

Monitoring and Modelling the Dynamics of Hydrometeorological Extremes
Overview Hydrometeorological extremes such as severe storms, floods, landslides, and heat waves, can pose both immediate and long-term impacts on the built environment and engineering structures. Modelling, monitoring and further forecasting their dynamics have never been more important as we are facing the climate emergency. Our group specialise in the large scale, both physically based…
