Campbell Watson, an IBM Research scientist, is using artificial intelligence (AI) to improve understanding of climate and environmental changes. His work with geospatial models helps address global sustainability issues. Watson’s team develops geospatial models for climate change and weather prediction, which are vital for environmental social governance (ESG) reporting.
They use large language models (LLMs) to enhance ESG reporting by refining them to handle the specific language and acronyms prevalent in sustainability reporting. Watson’s team has developed Prithvi WxC, a general-purpose AI model for weather and climate that utilizes data from various satellites.
As a lab leader, Watson focuses on ensuring projects are scalable and impactful, translating research into practical applications.
