Looking forward to forecast the risks of a changing climate

To better inform local policy in the face of changing weather extremes, MIT researchers seek to advance the modeling of long-term weather risks.
New maps show airplane contrails over the U.S. dropped steeply in 2020

The computer-vision technique behind these maps could help avoid contrail production, reducing aviation’s climate impact.
Climate modeling confirms historical records showing rise in hurricane activity

New results show North Atlantic hurricanes have increased in frequency over the last 150 years.
Predator interactions chiefly determine where Prochlorococcus thrive

New findings may help researchers hone predictions for where phytoplankton will migrate with climate change.

MIT CGCS forms a better understanding of Earth’s climate while facilitating the prediction of climate change. We are an interdisciplinary bridge spanning the MIT School of Science & the MIT School of Engineering.
