To help mitigate climate change \u2014 one of humanity\u2019s greatest challenges \u2014 researchers are turning to AI and sustainable computing<\/a> to accelerate and operationalize their work.<\/p>\n

At this week\u2019s NVIDIA GTC<\/a> global AI conference, startups, enterprises and scientists are highlighting their environmental sustainability initiatives and latest climate innovations. Many are using NVIDIA Earth-2<\/a>, a full-stack, open platform for accelerating climate and weather simulation and predictions.<\/p>\n

Earth-2 comprises GPU-accelerated numerical weather and climate prediction models, including ICON and IFS; state-of-the-art AI-driven weather models, such as FourCastNet, GraphCast and Deep Learning Weather Prediction, offered through the NVIDIA Modulus<\/a> framework; and large-scale, interactive, high-resolution data visualization and simulation enabled by the NVIDIA Omniverse<\/a> platform. These capabilities are also available via cloud APIs, or application programming interfaces.<\/p>\n

Various members of NVIDIA Inception<\/a> \u2014 a free, global program for cutting-edge startups \u2014 are pioneering climate AI advancements with Earth-2. It\u2019s critical work, as extreme-weather events are expected<\/a> to take a million lives and cost $1.7 trillion per year by 2050.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow.io Powers Weather Predictions of Tomorrow<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Boston-based Tomorrow.io<\/a> provides actionable, weather-related insights to countries, businesses and individuals by applying advanced AI and machine learning models to a proprietary global dataset collected from satellites, radar and other sensors. Its weather intelligence and climate adaptation platform delivers high-resolution, accurate weather forecasts across time zones for both short- and long-term projections.<\/p>\n

The startup is using Earth-2 to study the potential impacts of its suite of satellites on global model forecasts. By conducting observing-system simulation experiments, or OSSEs, with Earth-2 AI forecast models, Tomorrow.io can identify the optimal configurations of satellites and other instruments to improve weather-forecasting conditions. The work ultimately aims to offer users precision and simplicity, helping them easily understand complex weather situations and make the right operational decisions at the right time.<\/p>\n

Learn more about Tomorrow.io\u2019s work with Earth-2 by joining the GTC session, \u201cGlobal Strategies: Startups, Venture Capital, and Climate Change Solutions<\/a>,\u201d taking place today, March 19, at 3 p.m. PT, at the San Jose Convention Center and online.<\/p>\n

ClimaSens Advances Flood-Risk Management With AI<\/b><\/h2>\n

ClimaSens<\/a>, based in Melbourne, Australia, and New York, fuses historical, real-time and future climate and weather information using advanced AI models. FloodSens, its upcoming flood risk analysis model, informs clients about the probability of flooding from rainfall, offering high-resolution assessments of flash flooding, riverine flooding and all types of flooding in between.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

FloodSens, now in beta, was developed using Earth-2 APIs and the FourCastNet model for high-fidelity, physically accurate representations of future weather conditions, as well as an ensemble of other models for assessing the probabilities of low-likelihood, high-impact flooding events. Through this work, the startup aims to enable a more resilient, sustainable future for communities worldwide.<\/p>\n

North.io Garners Ocean Insights With AI and Accelerated Modeling<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Based in Kiel, Germany, north.io<\/a> is helping to map the Earth\u2019s largest carbon sink: oceans. Only about 25% of the ocean floor \u2014 a critical source of the world\u2019s renewable energy and food security \u2014 has been mapped so far.<\/p>\n

North.io is collecting and analyzing massive amounts of data from autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and making it accessible, shareable, visualizable and understandable for users across the globe through its TrueOcean platform.<\/p>\n

Using Earth-2 APIs, north.io is developing AI weather forecasts for intelligent operational planning, system management and risk assessment for its AUVs. The combination of high-precision weather modeling and the use of autonomous systems drastically reduces human safety risks in rough, offshore environments.<\/p>\n

Learn more about the latest AI, <\/i>high performance computing<\/i><\/a> and <\/i>sustainable computing<\/i><\/a> advancements for climate research at GTC, running through Thursday, March 21.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
