The Abdus Salam Centre for Theoretical Physics or ICTP, has a longstanding tradition of carrying out educational and research activities in climate science. The Earth System Physics (ESP) division carries out research in two main areas: Climate Change and Impacts, and Natural Climate Variability and Predictability. The Climate Change and Impacts group aims to improve our understanding of climate change due to anthropogenic activities, and to study the impacts of climate change on human societies and natural ecosystems. The Natural Climate Variability and Predictability group aims at improving our understanding of natural variability and predictability at temporal scales from intra-seasonal/seasonal to multi-year/multi-decadal. ESP’s outreach activities include coordination of the Regional Climate Research Network for scientists mostly from developing countries interested in regional climate research issues; maintenance of two regional climate models for community use, freely available and with consulting as required; and maintenance of a range of observations and model datasets for climate change and seasonal prediction research.
