Environmental Mathematics and Statistics

Aims and objectives

The programme aimed to:

  • produce more life and environmental scientists who are able to use mathematical, statistical and modelling techniques when addressing environmental problems

  • produce more mathematicians who are working on life science or environmental problems, or devising tools and methods for them.

  • make mathematicians and statisticians familiar with the practicalities of environmental investigations and

  • give environmental scientists sufficient understanding of the power (and limitations) of leading-edge mathematical and statistical methodologies, so as to facilitate effective collaborations when tackling environmental issues and devising new approaches to currently insoluble problems.
