News & Media: Modeling and Data

Lecture series explores the science of climate change and policies to stabilize the global climate (MIT Open Learning)

Unfortunately, we don’t know. The risks are severe, and grow worse the longer we wait to address them, but climate scientists and economists are very far from agreeing on an exact dollar cost. MIT CS3 Principal Research Scientist Jennifer Morris explains. (MIT Climate Portal)

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) 

A new, interactive, Temperature-Change-by-Location map co-developed by Climate Interactive and MIT's Bringing Computation to the Climate Challenge (BC3) displays projected temperature changes in local areas across the century under different scenarios. The MIT BC3 team includes several MIT CS3-affiliated researchers. (Climate Interactive)

MIT EAPS postdoctoral associate Paolo Giani is a collaborator for Extreme-Aware Meteorological Years: Open Weather Data for Climate-Resilient Building Simulations, one of seven projects recognized by the prize, which aims to promote transparency and reproducibility of research through open data policies (MIT EAPS)
