Experts tackle water scarcity

The centre will be established as part of a new wave of Dh58.8 million grants awarded to four selected innovation initiatives funded by the Abu Dhabi government. Other technology projects include initiatives on computer security, cloud computing and computational cosmology and astrophysics.

The Centre for Prototype Climate Modelling in Abu Dhabi will focus on a number of atmospheric and oceanographic studies aimed at bridging mathematical theory with practical application, through sophisticated innovation. It is a collaborative effort by Dr Andrew Majda, Dr Katepalli Sreenivasan, Dr Shafer Smith and Dr Pauluis, who all teach at NYU.
