Inland flooding causes significant economic and societal impacts annually. Of the eight natural disasters costing the insurance industry over $1 billion in 2024, six of these were categorized as flood events, with three of these occurring in Europe alone. Catastrophe modeling aims to quantify the risk of flood events to enable preparedness for the financial and insurance industries.
]]>Large ensembles are essential for predicting rare, high-impact events that cannot be fully understood through historical data alone. By simulating thousands of potential scenarios, they provide the statistical depth necessary to assess risks, prepare for extremes, and build resilience against once-in-a-century disasters. Global insurance group AXA is conducting simulations with cutting-edge…
]]>In the United Arab Emirates (UAE), extreme weather events disrupt daily life, delaying flights, endangering transportation, and complicating urban planning. High daytime temperatures limit human activity outdoors, while dense nighttime fog is a frequent cause of severe and often fatal car crashes. Meanwhile, 2024 saw the heaviest precipitation event in the country in 75 years…
]]>As global electricity demand continues to rise, traditional sources of energy are increasingly unsustainable. Energy providers are facing pressure to reduce reliance on fossil fuels while ensuring a fully supplied and stable grid. In this context, solar energy has emerged as a vital renewable resource, being one of the most abundant clean energy sources available. However…
]]>As the world faces the urgent need to combat climate change, carbon capture and storage (CCS) has emerged as a crucial technology for achieving net-zero emissions. The CCS technology—which involves capturing carbon dioxide (CO2), either from industrial emissions or through direct air capture (DAC), and securely storing it in the subsurface—can drive much-needed decarbonization strategies and help…
]]>Despite the continuous improvement of weather forecasts over the last few decades, uncertainties due to meteorological measurements and models mean that ensemble forecasts remain critical to weather forecasting. Ensemble forecasts estimate this uncertainty by running multiple simulations over the same forecast horizon. Comparing the different outcomes then paints a more detailed picture of the…
]]>In financial services, portfolio managers and research analysts diligently sift through vast amounts of data to gain a competitive edge in investments. Making informed decisions requires access to the most pertinent data and the ability to quickly synthesize and interpret that data. Traditionally, sell-side analysts and fundamental portfolio managers have focused on a small subset of…
]]>In the context of global warming, NVIDIA Earth-2 has emerged as a pivotal platform for climate tech, generating actionable insights in the face of increasingly disastrous extreme weather impacts amplified by climate change. With Earth-2, accessible insights into weather and climate are no longer confined to experts in atmospheric physics or oceanic dynamics. You can now harness advanced…
]]>CO2 capture and storage technologies (CCS) catch CO2 from its production source, compress it, transport it through pipelines or by ships, and store it underground. CCS enables industries to massively reduce their CO2 emissions and is a powerful tool to help industrial manufacturers achieve net-zero goals. In many heavy industrial processes, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions cannot be avoided in the…
]]>Climate change mitigation is about reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The worldwide goal is to reach net zero, which means balancing the amount of GHG emissions produced and the amount removed from the atmosphere. On the one hand, this implies reducing emissions by using low-carbon technologies and energy efficiency. On the other hand, it implies deploying negative emission technologies…
