UFZ expertise in the field of Data Science and AI
The UFZ uses data science and artificial intelligence to better understand environmental processes and develop solutions for protecting natural resources. With the help of big data analyses and machine learning, environmental changes, such as the effects of climate change or changes in biodiversity, are precisely modeled. The UFZ uses AI to analyze environmental data and generate sustainable recommendations for action. Particularly in the area of environmental monitoring systems and resource use, AI is used as a key technology to make processes more efficient and sustainable.
- AI-supported environmental modeling
- Analysis of climate data and simulation of climate impacts
- Automated evaluation of environmental monitoring data
- Optimization of land use and resource conservation with machine learning
- Development of sustainable energy concepts using AI
The UFZ is one of the world's leading institutes for environmental research and uses AI and data science to develop solutions for a sustainable future and secure the foundations of life on Earth.
