Congratulations WiDS Datathon global winners!
WiDS Datathon 2023 Challenge:
Adapting to Climate Change by Improving Extreme Weather Forecasts
This year’s datathon will focus on longer-term weather forecasting to help communities adapt to extreme weather events caused by climate change. The dataset was created in collaboration with Climate Change AI (CCAI). WiDS participants will submit forecasts of temperature and precipitation for a short term forecast, competing against the other teams as well as official forecasts from NOAA.
WiDS Datathon 2023 Climate Change WebinarIn this panel discussion, we speak with experts in a wide range of domains and institutions in order to explore the multi-faceted challenges posed by climate change. Not only do we aim to glimpse at how climate change impacts sectors spanning healthcare, energy and environmental protection, we will hear from our panel how data science can help us understand and mitigate the effects of climate change. This webinar is appropriate for audiences of all backgrounds – no prior familiarity with data science is assumed.
