The Breath of Forests, Cities, and Everything in Between: Eva Pfannerstill and the Air We Cannot See

The Breath of Forests, Cities, and Everything in Between: Eva Pfannerstill and the Air We Cannot See

There is a slow-moving silver shape drifting over the forests and cities of North Rhine-Westphalia. From the ground, it looks almost ceremonial — a Zeppelin NT gliding through the air as though time had reversed by a century. Inside, sensors are humming. And Eva Pfannerstill is watching the data appear. She is not there to admire the view, though the Rhine-Ruhr region from the air is something. Sh ...[Read More]

Harnessing Machine Learning to Advance Tropospheric Ozone Science

Harnessing Machine Learning to Advance Tropospheric Ozone Science

Machine learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) offer powerful tools to address long-standing scientific challenges. At the molecular scale, we’ve seen projects like AlphaFold discover unknown protein structures and how they might interact with other molecules.  At the planetary scale, ML-driven models like GraphCast (Google), AIFS (ECMWF) and ACE (Allen Institute for AI) are revolutionizin ...[Read More]
