Data Modeling Strategies in Federal Climate Resilience Efforts

As government tackles the effects of climate change, the Department of Energy has made climate resilience and adaptation a key priority. The Argonne National Laboratory and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory are two facilities working to offer climate modeling that enables more data-driven decisions. Through an applied research model, the labs are mapping decarbonization pathways and risk mitigation, with a focus on climate justice and critical infrastructure. Data leaders discuss how they’re unlocking critical data-sharing efforts, spurred by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
