Ian Roulstone is at the Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences in Cambridge this week (8-11 April) participating in the 145th Mathematical European Study Group with Industry (ESGI).  The industrial problem that Ian is engaging with is sponsored by Aviva and its aim is to “Improve weather models for the insurance industry“. The broad aim for the study group is to evaluate the feasibility of developing more detailed estimates of of extreme weather risk.  Further detail about the programme can be found at the ESGI website.
