The international research team, led by the University of Bristol, has developed an innovative statistical approach – called space-time statistical inference – to quantify and separate the different sources of increasing sea levels.
Thanks to a new funding grant from the European Research Council (ERC), this approach will be used to develop a software tool which can address far-reaching space-time, or four-dimensional, problems such as the transmission of vector-borne diseases and viruses, air pollution patterns, traffic flow, and crime trends.
