Tackling Climate Change with Machine Learning

Abstract

Climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing humanity, and we, as machine learning (ML) experts, may wonder how we can help. Here we describe how ML can be a powerful tool in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and helping society adapt to a changing climate. From smart grids to disaster management, we identify high impact problems where existing gaps can be filled by ML, in collaboration with other fields. Our recommendations encompass exciting research questions as well as promising business opportunities. We call on the ML community to join the global effort against climate change.

Water4Energy Step-1 Band-M Ready-to-Train Samples for TVA Weeks-to-Years Prediction, Version 0

AI-ready Band-M (monthly) labelled training pack for the Water4Energy Genesis Task-1 project on weeks-to-years prediction of Tennessee Valley temperature and precipitation. The deposit includes leakage-aware issue-time samples (samples_M_v0.nc; N=486), train-only scalers, issue-time split table, supporting monthly panels, and Python generation scripts to recreate the pack from the companion Tier-1 raw observation collection (https://doi.org/10.13139/ORNLNCCS/3398576). Each sample pairs a 12-month lookback of teleconnection indices and SST box anomalies with TVA-mean ERA5 anomaly targets (t2m, tp, msl) at leads 1–3 months.
