A huge thank you to Andrew Wiebe, Chief Science Officer at riskthinking.AI, for his insightful guest lecture at our recent seminar, hosted jointly with the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes. Andrew, an atmospheric scientist with over 20 years of experience, highlighted the critical role of integrating climate science and big data to address the evolving challenges of climate risk. He stressed the importance of developing dynamic tools to quantify and manage these risks, shaped by ongoing changes in our physical environment, politics, economics, and demographics. At Riskthinking.AI, Andrew is working on stochastic models that account for the uncertainty and variability of global climate projections. These models will help us better understand and prepare for future climate scenarios. Watch the full seminar here: https://lnkd.in/gcjD78yz
