AI for Earth: How NASA's artificial intelligence and open science efforts combat climate change


by Phys.org

Phys.org— As extreme weather events increase around the world due to climate change, the need for further research into our warming planet has increased as well. For NASA, climate research involves not only conducting studies of these events, but also empowering outside researchers to do the same. The artificial intelligence (AI) efforts spearheaded by the agency offer a powerful tool to accomplish these goals.

Tech Times—NASA Is Leveraging AI to Combat Climate Change—Here's How. NASA is intensifying its efforts to understand and address the planet's warming with AI. Amid escalating extreme weather events fueled by climate change, NASA is intensifying its efforts to understand and address the planet's warming.

Phys.org—Artificial intelligence helps scientists engineer plants to fight climate change. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has declared that removing carbon from the atmosphere is now essential to fighting climate change and limiting global temperature rise. To support these efforts, Salk Institute scientists are harnessing plants' natural ability to draw carbon dioxide out of the air by optimizing their root systems to store more carbon for a longer period of time.
