University of Manchester Uses NVIDIA Earth-2 to Forecast Air Pollution Across the UK

Air pollution is a serious public health risk, contributing to an estimated 30,000 deaths in the U.K. alone last year. Data-driven insights can help — but computing air quality with traditional chemistry-based models is expensive, which limits how detailed they can be and how regularly they can be run.  David Topping, a professor in the […]
