Microsoft launches Microsoft Climate Research Initiative
Microsoft has launched the Microsoft Climate Research Initiative (MCRI). The tech giant said that MCRI is a community of multi-disciplinary researchers working together to fight climate change. Initially, it is focusing on three critical areas in climate research where computational advances can drive key scientific transformations. These include: Overcoming constraints to decarbonisationReducing uncertainties in carbon accountingAssessing climate risks in more detail Results to be made public As per Microsoft, all results of this initiative are expected to be made public and freely available to encourage broader research and progress on these important climate issues. “As researchers, we’re excited to work together on projects specifically selected for their potential impact on global climate challenges. With Microsoft’s computational capabilities and the domain expertise from our academic collaborators, our complementary strengths can accelerate progress in incredible ways,” added Karin Strauss, Microsoft Senior Principal Research Manager. Microsoft has laid down various goals it wants to achieve through this program. Accelerate cutting-edge research and innovation in climate science and technology through collaborationDevelop and sustain a highly collaborative research ecosystem comprising diversity of perspectives across representation, expertise, institution, and geographyProvide strategic direction for climate-related research priorities and investments Microsoft researchers will be working with collaborators globally to co-investigate priority climate-related topics and bring innovative, world-class research to influential journals and venues.
