Math & CS Climate Day

On June 10th we will have an extra workshop: Using NASA EarthData with Python APIs

🗓 Date: June 10th, 2025

🕛 Time: 12:30 PM – 4:30:00 PM

📍 Location: MS431

Join us for a hands-on workshop where you'll learn how to access and use NASA EarthData Cloud with Python APIs. We’ll explore real-world environmental risk scenarios like floods and wildfires. You can sign up at https://forms.gle/CUoYpvekY3SLL6zj7

On May 22nd our 5th Math & CS Climate Day event took place at the University of Calgary in MS427

We had a day full of presentations, workshops and discussions about how we as mathematicians, statisticians and computer scientists can solve climate-change related problems, such as climate modeling, enabling the expansion of renewable energies and strategies for the transition to zero-emission technologies.
