Science Local predictions of climate change are hazy. But cities need answers fast The adjustments can also wipe out any trends predicted by a climate model. Last year, Auroop Ganguly, a climate scientist at Northeastern University, and his colleagues applied a widely used downscaling and bias correction method to two different outputs: real climate model data and random noise. Dubai Floods Expose Weaknesses to a Rapidly Changing Climate But it will take “significant data analysis” to ascertain the role, if any, it played in making the rains more extreme, according to Auroop Ganguly, a civil and environmental engineering professor at Northeastern University in Boston. “Often major floods in a city relate to urban drainage and related infrastructures,” he said. U.S. Wheat Supply Threatened as Worst Drought in Decade Scorches Kansas Auroop Ganguly, director of the Sustainability and Data Sciences Laboratory at Northeastern University, Boston, told Newsweek, “On the hydrometeorological hazards side, heat waves are getting—and are further projected to get—even hotter, cold snaps persisting even if growing less frequent, heavy precipitation getting heavier, and so on. Semafor AI is helping scientists and startups fight El Niño “Some of the strongest benefits of AI are in the areas of climate and weather,” said Auroop Ganguly, climate director at Northeastern University’s Institute for Experiential AI and author of a recent study that used AI to study how El Niño changes the flow of major rivers like the Ganges and Amazon. In older computer models of […] Lifewire How Could AI Help Combat Climate Change? Let’s Count the Ways “AI is a powerful tool for understanding the resilience of transportation, healthcare, water, energy, and communications systems in response to extreme weather,” Auroop Ganguly, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at the Institute for Experiential AI at Northeastern University, told Lifewire in an email interview. Is California Still in a Drought? Auroop Ganguly, director of the Sustainability and Data Sciences Laboratory at Northeastern University, Boston, previously told Newsweek, “On the hydrometeorological hazards side, heat waves are getting—and are further projected to get—even hotter, cold snaps persisting even if growing less frequent, heavy precipitation getting heavier, and so on.” Grist Magazine 23 Predictions for 2023 “We need to be open to the possibility of relocation” says Auroop R. Ganguly, professor of civil and environmental engineering at Northeastern University A Million Migrating Birds Expecting Kansas Wetlands Will Find Dust Auroop Ganguly, director of the Sustainability and Data Sciences Laboratory at Northeastern University, Boston, previously told Newsweek, “On the hydrometeorological hazards side, heat waves are getting—and are further projected to get—even hotter, cold snaps persisting even if growing less frequent, heavy precipitation getting heavier, and so on. Invest 98-L’s Spaghetti Models Reveal Storm Nicole’s Path Toward Florida Auroop Ganguly, director of the Sustainability and Data Sciences Laboratory at Northeastern University, previously told Newsweek, “On the hydrometeorological hazards side, heat waves are getting—and are further projected to get—even hotter, cold snaps persisting even if growing less frequent, heavy precipitation getting heavier, and so on. Auroop Ganguly for Northeastern Global NewsEngineering leaders need to use AI. These experts have some tips An expert panel says engineering leaders should invest in data infrastructure, train up their workforce and lean on subject matter experts. New treatment offers hope to end the pain of neuropathy for millionsNortheastern expert Ganesh Thakur’s research on non-opioid pain treatment yields promising new remedies for neuropathy. Is airplane turbulence really getting worse?Ahmed Busnaina, who studied the design of jet engines, says the aerospace industry is taking reports of increased turbulence seriously. What is ‘weather whiplash’? And why scientists say it’s becoming the new normalNortheastern expert says “get used to the idea” of rapid cycling between droughts and floods, and prepare for both Nearly a billion people will be affected by a scarcity of water by 2100, Northeastern researchers say An analysis of Earth systems models by Northeastern scientists finds 850 million people will be affected by declines in river runoff by 2100 What made the Texas flash flood so deadly and how AI could improve forecastingOne factor is the area’s soil, which is hard-packed and dry and shallow with little organic matter, says Northeastern professor Should we add a Category 6 hurricane to the Saffir-Simpson scale? Experts weigh in With hurricanes intensifying in wind speed and rainfall, experts say the traditional five-category rating system may no longer be enough. With the help of Northeastern, Tennessee Valley Authority experiments with a new forecast model to better predict extreme rainfallsNortheastern researcher Puja Das uses generative AI for faster, more accurate forecasts of extreme rains that can lead to deadly floods. Recovery from natural disasters or man-made attacks begins with being prepared, researchers sayAuroop Ganguly and his team lead a Department of Defense-funded study on recovering from combined threats such as floods and cyberattacks. Honeybees are key to biodiversity. Researchers say ecosystems collapsing because of climate change have bee-like species that can be reintroduced Northeastern researchers use network science to figure out keystone species that could fix collapsing ecosystems.
