An autumn of my talks on programming languages and software engineering for climate modelling

It has been an autumn (and November) where I (Dominic) have given quite a few talks about my work in this area.

• In September, “From C to Comonads to Climate - A Functional Programmer’s Journey in Array Programming” as the keynote at the 1st ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Functional Programming for Productivity and Performance (FProPer’24), co-located with ICFP 2024 in Milan, Italy.
• In November, “Computing for Climate Science and Programming for the Planet” at the departmental seminar of the Department of Computer Science and Technology at Cambridge, where I spend half my time, and in short form at Queens’ college at the Monday night SCR talks.
• Also in November, “Writing Computational Models that are FAIR and VRAI” (slides on request) at the Centre for Atmospheric Science, Yusuf Hamied Department of Chemistry, University of Cambridge.
• And again in November (busy month!), “Taming the Black Box - Effectively Leveraging ML Sub-Models (some thoughts and case studies)” at the Cambridge Centre for Climate Science (CCfCS) Winter Symposium 2024, University of Cambridge.

Some of the content of these talks is currently in draft stages of a paper I hope to submit in the early new year.
