AI and Climate Change
In this course, you’ll start with a review of the mechanisms behind anthropogenic climate change and its impact on global temperatures and weather patterns. You will work through two case studies, one using time series analysis for wind power forecasting and another using computer vision for biodiversity monitoring. Both case studies are examples of where AI techniques can be part of the solution when it comes to the mitigation of and adaptation to climate change.

Human Predicament Complex Modeling
The convergence of different crises pressuring the world today is probably one of the most complex human-made phenomena we can observe. From biodiversity loss to the threat to democracy, all of these crises are deeply intertwined. Therefore, tools from the complexity and systems-thinking toolsets become very relevant for anyone seeking to have a slight grasp of what is going on and what is probably going to happen. This project is about using two of these tools to have a minimal understanding of how all of these crises are interconnected and to simulate possible future scenarios.
