CSE19 has selected Isaac for a 2019 best paper prize for his work on identifying large-scale climate models of the Antarctic Ice Sheet, and will live stream the paper presentation from the conference Wednesday at 11:30 a.m. PT.

• Watch the live stream here.

According to Isaac, “The talk focuses on building scalable and efficient algorithms for a large-scale model containing uncertain parameters. The idea comes from the fact we have uncertain measurements being gathered from satellites showing the movement of the ice sheets but no real measurements of parameters required to simulate this movement.”

“We want to make a form of predictive model that, rather than making a single projection, describes the range of possibilities due to uncertainty in the model and the data. We hope to apply these methods to real-world modeling which is helpful for large scale projection of climate models.”

Several Georgia Tech faculty members and CSE students, as well as School of Computer Science Professor Tom Conte, are joining Issac at the five-day conference in Spokane, Washington.
