Climate change has created a storm of uncertainty. These researchers are making sense of it. Climate change has created a storm of uncertainty. These researchers are making sense of it. Northeastern professor Auroop Ganguly explains how to harness the power of existing science and technology to interpret climate data. Severe floods devastated southwestern India. And it’s not just because of the monsoons. Severe floods devastated southwestern India. And it’s not just because of the monsoons.
