Professor Maria Molina Answers Questions About Machine Learning and Extreme Weather

University of Maryland Atmospheric and Oceanic Science Assistant Professor Maria Molina participated in an Ask-Me-Anything (AMA) user-led discussion on Reddit to answer questions about using machine learning to understand climate and weather extremes.

Molina’s research focuses on the application of machine learning tools, such as neural networks, and numerical modeling systems to answer pressing questions in the domains of climate and extremes. She leads the PARETO (Predictability and Applied Research for the Earth-system with Training and Optimization) group. Examples of problems the group is tackling include extending understanding of Earth system predictability, parameterizing subgrid-scale processes in Earth system models and uncovering multi-scale patterns in the climate system.
