Meet TipplyAI.

We are building an integrated AI and satellite-based forecasting system that fuses new atmospheric data streams with advanced modeling to detect early warning signs of rapid, potentially irreversible climate change, providing actionable insights for policymakers, financial markets and risk analysts.

The Team

A physicist by training, Carla earned her PhD in Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences from the University of Edinburgh in 2024, where she studied how tiny particles from human industrial activities, known as aerosols, affect the global climate. She then spent a year as a postdoc at Columbia University in New York developing machine learning methods to better understand the Earth system. 

Funded through ARIA, she is now building an machine learning-enabled early warning system to predict critical changes in the North Atlantic. As an ARC fellow with Renaissance Philanthropy, she is also helping to design a global network to monitor and model the impacts of sulfur dioxide emissions, a major source of human-made aerosols and a key driver of both climate cooling and air pollution.

Problem

Although climate change is well understood in principle, many of its future risks remain hidden due to limited capacity to monitor and forecast the Earth system. While greenhouse gases are well tracked, other important trace gas emissions remain relatively un-observed. As precursors to aerosols, changes in the atmospheric loading of these gases can rapidly accelerate warming or alter extreme events, triggering abrupt shifts in ocean circulation, ice sheets, and other critical systems. Our current monitoring and modeling tools are still insufficient to anticipate such nonlinear and potentially irreversible changes.

Solution

We are developing a new generation of tools that combine satellite observations and machine learning to better understand and anticipate changes in the Earth system.  Building new capabilities is essential to predict and prepare for rapid, irreversible shifts in the climate system which can have major impacts on our economic and social life. Our approach brings together new ways to monitor the atmosphere, advanced models to forecast complex dynamics, and early warning capabilities to translate scientific insight into practical action.
