Melting Ice and Rising Seas: how Cambridge research is deepening our understanding of climate change
In May 2025 DAMTP's Professor John Taylor and Professor Jerome Neufeld were joined by an audience of Cambridge alumni to explore how ice‑sheet research and modelling are deepening our understanding of the challenges posed by rising sea levels.
Across the University, Cambridge’s world-leading researchers are exploring how AI can benefit society. Research in the mathematics departments is demonstrating how AI can help us all, from improving healthcare and public services to tackling climate change.
