"The Youth Climate Movement" presented by Eddy-Binford Ross: For decades, climate scientists have been warning that time is running out to combat the climate crisis and prevent a catastrophic rise in global temperatures. Frustrated with the failure of adults to create meaningful change, Eddy Binford-Ross is part of a generation of teenagers who have taken to the streets, courts, and capitals across the globe, demanding that systemic change take place immediately to ensure the future habitability of the planet. She will be sharing her work to combat the climate crisis and her generation's message to those in power. Mihir Joshi will present "Preempting Global Climate Change: A Novel Mathematical Prediction Models for Moving Marine Protected Areas (MPA's) to Manage Moving Species". MPA's provide vital management of marine biodiversity, economic growth and food security, however, currently they are at risk due to global climate change. My talk is about using data science for predicting Marine Protective Area movement in order to take a preemptive stance on their change. Mihir developed an algorithm that predicts different marine environmental indicators and plots them on a graph using the Kullback_Leibler divergence for multiple different MPA's over the world. |
