Seminar 09 (November 27, 2024) of the CleanCloud series.
Speaker is Prof. Pierre Gentine (Columbia University in US).
Abstract: AI has been revolutionizing many areas of science from protein unfolding to tumor detection. Over the last five years, fluid dynamics and weather forecasting have witnessed such a revolution and AI-based models are starting to be adopted for near real-time weather forecasting. Even though several groups have made important progress for applications of AI to long-term climate projections, a revolution is not yet within reach yet is crucial so that our societies can adapt to climate change. I will present some of the roadblocks in climate modeling and opportunities to import some of the pillars of the AI revolution to climate modeling. With these developments that require innovation on the algorithmic side, an AI revolution for climate might be within reach.
