This data will help scientists and the public understand the risk of cyclones on communities, and how climate change is worsening their effect around the world. So, using a limited historical record, Imperial College London scientists have embarked on a mission to model millions of virtual tropical cyclones. However there are insufficient observations of these devasting but rare events. DreamLab-powered research has already contributed to COVID-19 research with Imperial College London scientists and cancer research with the Garvan Institute of Medical Research.Īs climate change intensifies, powerful cyclones are becoming more commonplace, impacting millions of people and causing billions of dollars in damage each year.
This ‘virtual supercomputer’ will help the scientists to model the impact of climate change on cyclones and extreme weather.
Smartphone users are being encouraged to download Vodafone Foundation’s DreamLab app to help scientists speed up climate research and create the world’s largest public database of simulated tropical cyclones.
