Research Computing Case Studies

Building a ML model for climate change prediction

A project that made use of the HPC systems for building a Machine Learning (ML) model for predicting the benefits of reducing air pollution over regions of China.

Constraining uncertainty in modelling of the North American ice sheet

This project used a fast-running model to simulate hundreds of past ice sheet scenarios, revealing how ice sheet reflectivity affects predictions and highlighting challenges in modelling different ice sheets accurately.

Dynamic recalibration of a disease spread model

This project used Approximate Bayesian Computation to dynamically recalibrate a COVID-19 disease spread model with real-world data, greatly improving infection rate forecasts.

MESMER XML GUI (MXG) Development

A project that developed a new Graphical User Interface for the specialist chemistry research software MESMER.

Using HPC to expose factors contributing to ice mass loss in Antarctica

A project that made use of the HPC systems for large-scale image processing of satellite data.

Using Microsimulation techniques to forecast future police demand

Research Computing Case StudiesA project that developed an implementation of microsimulation techniques to forecast future police demand.
