From objective discovery to prediction of global ocean eco-provinces: A pathway for trustworthy learning

This work uses unsupervised machine learning to identify eco-provinces with corresponding uncertainty measures based on output of a global simulation of phytoplankton functional types and develops a hierarchy of explainable dense ensemble networks to infer how well the eco-provinces can be detected from modeled ocean c...

Land Art as a Big-Data Climate Sensor

Robert Smithson's 1970 land artwork Spiral Jetty, located in the north arm of Utah's Great Salt Lake, has alternated between submergence and exposure during severe lake decline. We analyze 1,744 co-registered Landsat 4-9 and Sentinel-2 image chips spanning every year and calendar month from 1984 to 2025. A 14-feature c...

Hurdle-RMIL: Addressing Zero Inflation and Long-Tailed Imbalance in Infrared Rainfall Retrieval

Imbalanced labels can cause frequent samples to dominate AI-based quantitative remote sensing, degrading rare-event retrieval. In rain-rate retrieval based on satellite infrared brightness temperatures, this imbalance leads to systematic underestimation of rare high-intensity rainfall. In this study, Hurdle-Retrieval M...

Optimizing Geoengineering Interventions Using Differentiable Climate Models

The deployment of a geoengineering program to cool Earth's climate may be imminent. It is crucial that tools be developed to ensure that such a program would achieve its objectives while minimizing disruption. Here we exploit recently developed differentiable atmospheric models to demonstrate a novel geoengineering con...

A Station-Based Evaluation of Machine Learning-based Weather Forecasting Models in Northern Norway

Recent machine learning weather prediction (MLWP) models have demonstrated remarkable forecasting skill on global reanalysis-based benchmarks. However, their performance remains unclear in challenging environments such as Northern Norway, where narrow fjords and rapidly changing weather result in highly variable local...

Enabling Real-Time Training of a Wildfire-to-Smoke Map with Multilinear Operators

Wildfires are a major producer of fine particulate matter, impacting human health and the electrical grid. Accurately forecasting smoke impacts over long time scales incorporates fuel treatment strategies, natural fuel succession, and stochastic events like lightning strikes. However, predicting smoke for each fuel dis...

Steering Diffusion Priors with Sparse Observations for High-Resolution Temperature Downscaling

Local heatwave hazard depends on fine-scale air temperature, but ground stations are sparse and reanalysis products such as ERA5 cannot resolve the terrain and land-surface contrasts that shape real heat exposure. We present a conditional diffusion emulator for high-resolution 2-m temperature downscaling, conditioned o...

Stochastically Perturbed Weights: Ensembles from Deterministic Machine-Learning Weather Models

Stochastically perturbed weights (SPW) is at present a tuning procedure rather than a plug-and-play recipe, and its main failure mode is a coherent whole-field offset that overdisperses the domain mean, and restricting the noise to coarse scales or perturbing the initial conditions each repair part of it.

Advancing Subseasonal Forecasting with Machine Learning

Decision-makers rely on weather forecasts to plant crops, manage wildfires, allocate water and energy, and prepare for weather extremes. Today, such forecasts enjoy unprecedented accuracy out to two weeks thanks to steady advances in physics-based dynamical models and data-driven artificial intelligence (AI) models. Ho...

Solving a 31-year-old grand challenge in mathematics – the KLS conjecture

For decades, a fundamental question about the difficulty of computing in high-dimensional spaces has resisted proof. New research resolves this question, removing a major theoretical obstacle to understanding the efficiency of randomized algorithms used across science and computing. The Kannan–Lovász–Simonovits (KLS) conjecture was proposed in 1995. It asks whether, for a broad class of high-dimensional […] The post Solving a 31-year-old grand challenge in mathematics – the KLS conjecture appear…
