The Artificial Future of Forecasting
02/25/25 • 45 min
Artificial Intelligence has become a hot-button issue, with questions about AI accuracy and precision. But this week, we're exploring the role of artificial intelligence in weather forecasting! Come Off the Radar with us as we learn about how generative AI modeling can now use historical weather data to make hyper-local predictions about future weather probabilities. We'll be talking to Dr. Amy McGovern from the National Science Foundation's AI Institute for Research on Trustworthy AI in Weather, Climate, and Coastal Oceanography. We'll also be chatting with Ilan Price, a Senior Research Scientist at Google DeepMind whose work centers around using AI in weather forecasting. If you rely on your phone to check the weather forecast, you won't want to miss this one!

The Hidden Figures of Meteorology
This week Emily sits down with Alan Sealls, President-elect of the American Meteorological Society, to uncover the remarkable but often overlooked contributions of African American meteorologists. From pioneering weather observers to modern-day scientists, these trailblazers didn't just forecast the weather—they transformed the field of meteorology. Sealls, a veteran broadcaster, author and educator, shares stories of scientific excellence and perseverance, while highlighting how diverse perspectives in meteorology are crucial for protecting all communities during severe weather events.

Volcano Monitoring: Santorini's Seismic Swarm
The Greek Islands might make you think of turquoise waters, stunning architecture, and Meryl Streep singing ABBA. But the island of Santorini – which was formed by volcanic activity – has a destructive past. In early 2025, over 20,000 small earthquakes prompted a Santorini evacuation. Geologist Shawn Willsey discusses the quakes on Santorini, and dives into the island's destructive past as well as its future. We'll also cover volcanic science and monitoring around the world, including here in the US.
