Climate modeling

An expert in modeling global climate discusses how new data and new techniques are providing a clearer glimpse of our atmospheric future than ever before.

Researchers at Stanford and Colorado State University used machine learning to determine how much global warming has influenced extreme weather events in the U.S. and elsewhere in recent years. Their approach could change how scientists study and predict the impact of climate change on extreme weather.

At Stanford HAI’s recent fall conference, scholars showed how artificial intelligence is opening up new approaches to studying science. 

Artificial intelligence provides new evidence our planet will cross the global warming threshold of 1.5 degrees Celsius within 10 to 15 years. Even with low emissions, we could see 2 C of warming. But a future with less warming remains within reach.
