Research examples include how AI is being leveraged to improve predictions and models leading to more reliable water resource management. Similarly, AI-driven analyses are informing sea-level predictions along the U.S. coast. AI innovation is being applied for satellite data analysis of emissions and air quality, and to more accurately simulate the atmospheric transport of wildfire smoke for air quality forecasting. These applications provide more accurate and actionable information for health risk mitigation strategies.

Finally, CPO efforts aim to build an AI-ready workforce through research, workshops, and partnerships. These initiatives are designed to expand access to AI tools and training, promote responsible AI practices, and foster broad collaborations with external partners.
