Climate Modelling information

What is climate modelling?

Climate modelling is the use of computer-based mathematical models to simulate the Earth's climate system, including the atmosphere, oceans, land surface, and ice. These models help scientists understand past, present, and future climate conditions by analyzing interactions between various components of the climate. Climate models are essential tools for predicting future climate changes, assessing the impact of human activities, and informing policy decisions related to climate change mitigation and adaptation.

What are some typical collaborative projects that climate modellers work on with other scientists?

Climate modellers frequently collaborate with meteorologists, oceanographers, data scientists, and policy experts to create comprehensive simulations and forecasts. These joint projects might include developing regional climate impact assessments, evaluating mitigation strategies, or contributing to international reports like those from the IPCC. Working in interdisciplinary teams allows climate modellers to integrate diverse data sets and perspectives, enhancing the accuracy and relevance of their models. Collaboration is essential for translating complex climate data into actionable insights for stakeholders and policymakers.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Climate Modeller, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Climate Modeller, you need a strong background in atmospheric sciences, mathematics, and programming, typically supported by an advanced degree in climate science, meteorology, or a related field. Proficiency with climate modelling software (such as WRF or CESM), data analysis tools (like Python, MATLAB, or R), and experience with high-performance computing environments are essential. Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and effective communication skills help translate complex model outputs into actionable insights. These skills and qualities are crucial for producing accurate climate projections that inform policy decisions and scientific understanding.

What is the difference between Climate Modelling vs Climate Data Analysis?

AspectClimate ModellingClimate Data Analysis
Required CredentialsBachelor's or Master's in Environmental Science, Meteorology, or related fields; programming skillsBachelor's or Master's in Data Science, Statistics, or related fields; strong analytical skills
Work EnvironmentResearch labs, universities, government agencies; computational and simulation workData centers, research institutions, consulting firms; data processing and interpretation
Employer & Industry UsageClimate research, environmental agencies, academiaEnvironmental consulting, research, policy analysis

Climate Modelling involves creating simulations to predict climate patterns using complex models, while Climate Data Analysis focuses on interpreting existing climate data to identify trends and insights. Both roles require strong analytical skills but differ in their approach—modeling emphasizes simulation, whereas data analysis emphasizes data interpretation.

Our culture in Risk Management and Compliance is all about thinking outside the box, challenging the status quo and striving to be best-in-class.

As an Catastrophe Modelling - Climate Nature & Social Risk Executive Director, you will lead the development and implementation of advanced catastrophe modelling strategies, working closely with stakeholders across risk, data, and technology teams. You will translate complex catastrophe and climate model outputs into actionable insights for credit and financial loss modelling, supporting the firm's transition to a low-carbon economy and resilience to physical climate risks. This role involves using catastrophe models beyond their typical insurance use case, requiring a passion for innovating methodologies combined with a deep understanding of catastrophe models.

Job Responsibilities

  • Lead the implementation and integration of third-party catastrophe models within the physical risk team, coordinating with central data, technology, and modelling teams to source data and conduct analyses.
  • Develop and tailor catastrophe modelling solutions to support risk identification, assessment, and management for physical climate risks, including event response activities.
  • Conduct detailed model review and validation, providing recommendations for model adjustments and serving as a subject matter expert in natural catastrophe and climate science.
  • Define requirements and drive firmwide initiatives for collecting and managing data on physical risk impacts; stay abreast of emerging developments in catastrophe modelling.
  • Collaborate with other risk teams (e.g., Consumer and Community Bank, Corporate and Investment Bank, Commercial Bank, Model Risk Governance & Review, Asset Management, Chief Data Office) to integrate physical risk data into business-as-usual (BAU) risk models.
  • Contribute to broader climate modelling initiatives, including scenario design, and macroeconomic impact analysis
  • Mentor and develop junior team members, fostering a culture of innovation and continuous improvement.

Required Qualifications, Capabilities, and Skills

  • Advanced degree in a quantitative discipline such as engineering, physics, economics, or mathematics.
  • Minimum 10 years of professional experience in catastrophe modelling, ideally within a broker, insurer, reinsurer, or model development firm.
  • Expertise in Verisk/AIR or Moody's/RMS modelling software, with proficiency in catastrophe risk modelling methods, terminology, and metrics is a must.
  • Demonstrated experience in model evaluation, validation, and/or development, with application to insurance, reinsurance, or banking business cases.
  • Strong leadership skills, with the ability to influence, lead cross-functional teams, and drive strategic initiatives.
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to clearly and succinctly convey complex analytical outputs to stakeholders (both written and verbal).

  • Proficiency in programming languages such as R or Python and geospatial data analysis

Preferred Qualifications, Capabilities, and Skills

  • Advanced degree (PhD preferred) in a quantitative discipline such as engineering, physics, economics, or mathematics.
  • Knowledge of climate scenario analysis, regulatory requirements, and their application to banking is a plus.
