The 2024 Gordon Bell Prize for Climate Modelling has been awarded to a team of researchers led by the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), Saudi Arabia, who used the Frontier supercomputer (and 4 more) to develop an exascale climate emulator with radically enhanced resolution but without the computational expense and data storage requirements of state-of-the-art climate models. The team includes ASA statisticians Marc Genton, Yan Song, Ying Sun (from KAUST) and Stefano Castruccio (from ND). More details can be found here:
