Deep Gaussian processes (DGPs) provide a rich class of models that can better represent functions with varying regimes or sharp changes, compared to conventional GPs. In this work, we propose a novel inference method for DGPs for computer model emulation. By...

We outline the principles of the natural capital approach to decision making and apply these to the contemporary challenge of very significantly expanding woodlands as contribution to attaining net zero emissions of greenhouse gases. Drawing on the case of the UK, we...

Land surface models are typically integrated into global climate projections, but as their spatial resolution increases the prospect of using them to aid in local policy decisions becomes more appealing. If these complex models are to be used to make local decisions,...
