Deploying artificial intelligence for climate change adaptation

Could the impact of Cyclone Gabrielle be reduced using Artificial Intelligence?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to play a significant role in disaster management, including mitigating the impact of cyclones like Gabrielle. While AI cannot directly prevent or stop a cyclone from occurring, it can be utilised in several ways to reduce its impact and improve disaster preparedness and response.
In this webinar, I will give you first an overview of the latest research using AI through recent innovations and development. Then I will focus on flood risk and present the latest results to predict floods using machine learning by the TAIAO research team.
TAIAO (taiao.ai) is a data science programme funded by the Ministry of Business, Innovation, and Employment (MBIE) over seven years. It aims to tackle our country's critical environmental problems by developing new machine-learning methods for time series and data streams to deal with large quantities of big data in real time.
In this webinar, Phil will present the new TAIAO ML courses roadshow for flood practitioners. The TAIAO team is delighted to provide a data science and machine learning course designed especially for flood practitioners.
Presenter: Dr Phil Mourot
Dr Phil Mourot, a senior data scientist with over 25 years of experience in natural hazards and early warning system systems. With a PhD in geophysics from France, Phil specialises in developing new methods and tools to predict natural disasters. He has extensive field experience, from analysing the Mont Blanc glaciers in the French Alps to monitoring the Merapi volcano in Indonesia. In New Zealand since 2015, Phil is now a Senior Hazard Advisor for the Waikato Regional Council and advocates resilience to reduce disaster risk and support climate adaptation. Two years ago, Phil joined the TAIAO team from the University of Waikato, and his research focuses on predicting the impact of floods using deep learning and improving emergency management during a crisis. Phil is involved in numerous advisory groups and national projects, such as the AI Researcher Association of NZ (he holds the Secretary position) and QuakeCORE IP4.
