Climate AI Nordics launches official YouTube channel

Published:

To celebrate our one-year anniversary, Climate AI Nordics is launching a new YouTube channel dedicated to sharing knowledge within the AI and climate community. The channel features a complete set of recordings from the inaugural Nordic Workshop on AI for Climate Change held in Gothenburg this past May. In addition to workshop content, viewers can access an extensive library of past webinars covering topics such as biodiversity monitoring, weather forecasting, and Earth system modelling. We invite researchers and practitioners to explore these valuable resources and join us as we look forward to another year of collaboration and innovation.

Featured paper: Separating the Albedo-Reducing Effect of Snow Impurities Using Machine Learning

Published:

This study presents an AI-driven inversion framework that uses a deep-learning emulator of a radiative transfer model to estimate snow albedo and quantify the impact of light-absorbing particles (LAPs) such as dust, black carbon, and algae. Trained on 5.8 million simulations, the method accelerates computations by 30× while maintaining accuracy, enabling large-scale mapping from drone or satellite data. Applied to field observations, it revealed strong but variable LAP effects on albedo and complex interactions between multiple impurities, offering a powerful tool for improving melt forecasts and climate projections.
