Join us at CCx: Hack, The Collider’s second climate data hackathon!
The Collider is partnering with Global Parametrics, global experts in natural disaster risk mitigation and financial resilience in emerging economies! Global Parametrics has a global risk hazard platform that is used to develop analytics and risk transfer products for their clients. Among other data and models, this platform integrates general circulation models, such as the Climate Forecast System (CFS2) data.
>>Challenge<<
Develop an algorithm that considers all vulnerable populated places in the world (above a minimum population threshold) and identifies when an extreme temperature event is occurring or emerging based on short-term forecasts (1-2 weeks).
>>Outcome<<
Using the algorithm developed during the hackathon, there is a potential end product online map or analytical tool that Global Parametrics could maintain and link to from their website. This would allow anyone to see in the world where extreme temperature events might be impacting vulnerable populations.
>>Who Should Attend?<<
Data scientists, statisticians, climatologists, programmers, web developers, systems thinkers, and problem solvers! All abilities welcome.
