Use of AI and ML can drive new knowledge about how the Earth system works

Three recently published articles involving Digital Futures Faculty members Georgia Destouni, Zahra Kalantari and Carla Ferreira show how AI and Machine Learning use can drive new knowledge about how the Earth system works and how climate extremes (in these cases, drought) can be predicted around Sweden and the world.
