How climate modeling works, what the challenges are, what climate models can help us understand about our future, and how to best communicate this information to a world that needs to know what's coming next in order to adapt and prepare. Featuring Yi Ming, Professor of Earth & Environmental Sciences at Boston College, and Jennifer Morris, Principal Research Scientist at MIT CS3. Each episode of Climate Reveal takes a deep dive into a specific aspect of the climate crisis and ongoing work toward solutions. (Boston College Creative Communication Lab)
