Title

What are Theory and Experiment in Climate Science? And Where’s the Math?

Abstract

Mathematicians have not been as involved in climate research as they are in many other areas of physics or biology, even compared with other areas of the geosciences. I will discuss how we may view climate research in way that makes the potential for our contributions clearer. I will also discuss some of the mathematical progress that will be needed to make advances in climate prediction, particularly in reference to the melding of data with computational models.
