Inspiration

We were inspired by the recent COP26 climate conference held in Glasgow, Scotland. There, world leaders convened to discuss strategies for reducing the rate of global warming. As well, we were inspired by the latest Nobel Prize in Physics which was awarded for dynamical systems modelling of climate change.

Project Goal

Use Physics Informed Neural Networks to model the set of coupled differential equations that govern the patterns of Earth’s temperature, Ice coverage, and CO2 based on the data acquired during the last half-century Using the the data recovered from our ML model make predictions about near future.

We used a new open-source Machine Learning library called DeepXDE to find the constants in our ODE system using historical data of global average temperature, sea ice coverage, and carbon concentration. DeepXDE leverages Physics Informed Neural Networks (PINNs).

How we built it

Using a brand new library called https://deepxde.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ that utilizes physics informed neural networks. (PINNs). Based on the paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/1907.04502. (Lu, et. al, 2020)

Challenges we ran into

We have some useless data that was unusable/ we had to couple the equations based on intuition

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We were able to justify our models behaviour/ sort out the significant info from insignificant/

What we learned

There are multiple phases to a project. a lot of rethinking and re-evaluation that needs to be done before coming up with a solid idea.

What's next for Great Dynamics

Even greater dynamics
