Making climate models relevant for local decision-makers

MIT Department of Earth Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences

A new downscaling method used in climate models leverages machine learning to improve resolution at finer scales. By making these simulations more relevant to local areas, policy makers have better access to information informing climate action.

Reducing carbon emissions from long-haul trucks

MIT Energy Initiative

Based on a series of analytical studies, MIT chemical engineers have come up with an idea that would enable long-haul trucks to use clean-burning hydrogen in place of diesel fuel, thereby reducing their carbon emissions. Left to right: Sayandeep Biswas, William Green, and Kariana Moreno Sader are now building an experiment to test and fine-tune equipment key to their promising approach.
