Sustain What?
Where Models Matter and Mislead, and How to Make the Most of Them
All mathematical models are wrong, some are useful and they’re everywhere. In this webcast, longtime journalist Andy Revkin of the Columbia Climate School explores model myths, merits and frontiers with Erica Thompson, who studies model ethics and impact (for better and worse) at the London School of Economic and has written the provocative and essential book “Escape from Model Land.”
Also joining the chat are Pierre Gentine, who directs a Columbia-led initiative applying artificial intelligence in climate adaptation analysis and Maria Molina, a University of Maryland scientist focused on climate extremes and also pursuing A.I. applications.
