Mathematician's Equations Improve Climate Change Forecasts

Mathematician's Equations Improve Climate Change Forecasts

Imagine tiny particles in the air, like dust, that can either cool or warm the planet.

Current climate models have struggled to accurately measure these particles because they are not perfectly round.

A mathematician created new equations to better account for these irregularly shaped particles, like dust from deserts and emissions from factories.

These new equations will improve how we predict future climate change.

They can also improve medical imaging and help design new materials.

This will help scientists and policymakers make better plans to help the planet.
