AI is a powerful technology that will transform our future, so how can we best apply it to help combat climate change and find sustainable solutions? The effects of climate change on Earth’s ecosystems are incredibly complex, and as part of our effort to use AI for solving some of the world’s most challenging problems, here are some of the ways we’re working to advance our understanding, optimise existing systems, and accelerate breakthrough science of climate and its effects.
The do-it-yourself climate modeling movement is here. Researchers from Northwestern University and Argonne National Laboratory have been launching NVIDIA Jetson-driven edge computing Waggle devices across the globe to collect hyper-local climate information. Waggle is an open source sensor platform for edge computing developed by Argonne. Working with this, scientists share…
In an era of accelerating climate change, predicting the near-future can yield major benefits. For instance, when utility officials are aware that a heat wave is on its way, they can plan energy procurement to prevent power outages. When farmers in drought-prone regions are able to predict which crops are…
The climate is changing. This makes predicting the path of extreme-weather events, among other challenges, all the more difficult. AI powered by NVIDIA technology can help tackle such challenges in climate science and increase the accuracy of weather prediction. Dive deeper into AI for climate science at NVIDIA GTC, a…
