The International Environmetrics Society (TIES) invites you to our Webinar Series on Data Science for Environmental Sciences (DSES).
Our next webinar will be on April 21, at 11 am Central Time (attached flyer).
You can virtually access the webinar and register via our website: www.environmetrics.xyz
Speaker: Steve Sain, Jupiter Intelligence, Sr. Director, Geospatial and Data Sciences
Title: Data science and the assessment of climate risk
Abstract: The study of the impacts of climate change has provided the foundation for the emerging area of climate risk analytics. Applied statistics and data science are playing a key role in quantifying the impact of a changing climate on perils such as flood, heat, and fire. In this talk, I will present an overview of climate risk analytics, focusing on research areas such as extremes, emulators, and downscaling. I'll also provide some examples of how companies and other organizations are using climate risk analytics to help assess and manage climate change-related risk.
Bio: Steve Sain is a Senior Principal Data Scientist and Senior Director, Geospatial and Data Sciences. Prior to joining the team at Jupiter, Steve held faculty positions in statistics and applied mathematics and worked in industry as a data scientist where he led research and development programs and data science teams. From 2006 to 2014, he was the head of the Geophysical Statistics Project and a scientist in the Institute for Mathematics Applied to Geosciences at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, CO. Steve has long worked at the intersection of climate research and applied statistics, including a focus on spatial methods for large datasets, extremes, uncertainty quantification, and climate risk analytics. Steve is an affiliate faculty in the University of Colorado's Department of Applied Mathematics, a fellow of the American Statistical Association, and past recipient of the Distinguished Achievement Award from the American Statistical Association's Section on Statistics and the Environment.
Hope to see you all there!
