Looking Ahead to the Future of Exoplanet Climate Modeling
Offered By: UW Astrobiology via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the evolving landscape of exoplanet climate modeling in this 34-minute talk presented by Linda Sohl for UW Astrobiology. Delve into the history of habitability studies, from science fiction to quantitative climate models. Examine the progression from 1D to 3D global climate models (GCMs) in exoplanet research. Learn how JWST observations are transforming the field, necessitating data-model comparisons and refined modeling techniques. Discover the importance of model intercomparisons and the role of the CUISINES Working Group in advancing exoplanet climate modeling. Gain insights into ongoing exoplanet Model Intercomparison Projects (exoMIPs) and their significance in shaping the future of this rapidly developing scientific discipline.
