A major new research consortium has been launched looking at the local impacts of climate change. Funded by a £1.6m EPSRC grant to explore Community Resilience to Extreme Weather, the CREW research team will span fourteen UK universities and draw together a wide spectrum of academic disciplines including geography, climatology, engineering, economics, statistics, sociology, and earth sciences. The Extreme Weather Event Socio-Economic Model (EWESEM) work-stream will be overseen by Professor Gwilym Pryce from the Department of Urban Studies, University of Glasgow, and will develop and integrate a suite of statistical models that quantify and simulate the local housing market effects of current and future extreme weather events. The EWESEM research will have a particular focus on the neighbourhood and house price impacts of climate change and flood risk.
Contact Gwilym Pryce for more details.
