Astronomers Looking Down

Date TBA

What does it look like when one of the world’s leading astrophysical institutions expands its focus from exploring the universe’s fundamental mysteries to collaborating on research on urgent environmental and climate challenges? How are we monitoring the actions of human society’s impact on the Earth, and how does pollution change the planet? How are we using artificial intelligence to tackle some of the most pressing environmental challenges and applying astrophysical AI methodologies to environmental monitoring and protection? How are we ensuring that this data is accessible to the public?
