Organiser: The Alan Turing Institute

In this Turing Lecture, climate scientist Dr Tamsin Edwards will discuss leading an international team of scientists and using machine learning techniques in the most comprehensive effort yet to predict 21st century sea level rise.

In the midst of COP27, Tamsin will also provide an update on the emissions pledges made to meet the Paris Agreement (2015), and conduct a live experiment to demonstrate how much global warming we should expect based on our current behaviour, and what actually causes sea level rise (hint: it’s probably not what you think!). Through thought-provoking discussion and creative demos, expect to come away with a new appreciation of the technology that’s helping us to understand sea level rise.

Tamsin Edwards is a climate scientist and award-winning communicator, specialising in quantifying the uncertainties of climate model predictions, particularly for the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheet contributions to sea-level rise. Tamsin is an IPCC author and co-presenter of the 39 Ways series.

This is a hybrid event with a discretionary donation suggested for virtual attendance and ticketed in-person attendance from £10. Further details: The Turing Lectures: Is it too little, too late for sea level rise? | The Alan Turing Institute.
