??Reflections from #ClimateWeekNYC provided by our amazing #DataScientist Amy Piscopo ?? ? Thoughts I Keep Coming Back To, Two Weeks Later ?? ? A major theme across sectors at Climate Week was: ???DATA. DATA. DATA. ? A data nerd myself, I enjoyed connecting with others working with various types of climate data, from hyperlocal precipitation data at tomorrow.io ? to HiveTracks data for biodiversity monitoring! ?? ? Why the emphasis on data? In my field, #hydrology ??, streamflow and flood inundation models are driving valuable insights, such as flood forecasting for communities ??? and damage estimates for insurance ??. ? However, a model is only as good as its underlying data. Reliable, spatially diverse data is necessary to train, calibrate, and validate our models. Otherwise, the standard adage applies –?garbage in, garbage out?– no matter how sophisticated the model. ? For data derived from fixed infrastructure, gaps in data coverage can introduce bias and uncertainty into models. But how often do we talk about this in the context of human implications? Think of the benefits of an advanced flood alert ??, for instance, and how the accuracy of that alert may decrease with distance from the sensor. ? At Divirod, we understand not only the model implications, but more importantly, the human implications of data scarcity. We keep this in mind with each sensor placement in our effort to support equitable decision-making around #ClimateChangeAdaptation ?? Climate Group
