Matematisk modellering är ett grundläggande verktyg inom geovetenskap för att förstå processer och för att testa hypoteser. Hypoteser om pågående klimatförändringar testas exempelvis med modeller, och uppskattningar av effekterna av framtidens globala uppvärmning är baserade på modellscenarier. På längre tidsskala har komplex klimatdynamik under den senaste istiden studerats med klimatmodeller, viMathematical modelling is an essential tool within earth system sciences to understand processes and test hypotheses. For example, hypotheses related to ongoing climate changes are tested with models, and the estimated impacts of future global warming are based on model scenarios. On longer timescales, the complex dynamics of climate changes during the last glacial cycle have been reproduced in cl
