NASA and IBM Join Forces in AI-Powered Climate Research, Emphasizing Open Science Principles

NASA has intensified its climate research efforts by collaborating with IBM Research to develop an AI geospatial foundation model, leveraging vast amounts of satellite data. This initiative, guided by open science principles, facilitates the creation of tailored AI tools to study environmental phenomena such as burn scars, flood delineation, and land use categorization. The partnership, which includes significant contributions from IBM's computing capabilities and AI expertise, aims to expand with a new model focused on weather and climate data. These advancements promise to significantly boost Earth science research and environmental monitoring.
