- Professor David Stephenson has been elected to become a member of the prestigious Academia Europaea. He was nominated for his outstanding research in statistical climatology by the Academia's section on 'Earth and Cosmic Sciences' which currently has 52 members, of which fewer than half are climate scientists. Professor Stephenson is the first scholar at Exeter ever to be honoured by election to the Academia Europaea.
- Exeter mathematicians are working to enhance laser technology in collaboration with laser experimentalists in several US and Canadian institutions and with the local optoelectronics company; Bookham. Improved laser technology will benefit optical information processing, healthcare, material processing, biosensing, forensics and security systems.
- Global climate change is accelerating beyond expectations and the human role is now firmly established, according to a new global scientific synthesis prepared by some of the world’s top climate scientists. The Copenhagen Diagnosis has been prepared by 26 researchers from around the world, including Professor Peter Cox, the University of Exeter’s Met Office Chair in Climate System Dynamics. Exeter Mathematics staff include several authors of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports.
