UC San Diego receives $2.35 million for AI-driven climate modeling
Google.org awarded a UC San Diego team $2.35 million to improve climate models and guide new ocean observations. The team plans to use AI agents alongside physics-based models and observational data.
Event / data period:
Published: · Updated:
The project is designed to go beyond existing observations: modeling results are intended to help identify which new ocean measurements would be most useful. The team also plans to use data from specially adapted Argo floats that measure small-scale mixing in the ocean.
UC San Diego received the award through the Google.org Impact Challenge: AI for Science. The announced $2.35 million is for this research project. The announcement reports no completed research results or measured improvement in climate predictions.
