Cumulative yearly CO2 emission by country

Creator
Balaji, Divya
Description
NOTE: This is a Tableau visualization. The purpose of this visualization is to depict the cumulative growth in carbon dioxide emission levels over a 265-year period. Carbon dioxide is essential for life as it both absorbs and emits thermal radiation, which is integral to sustaining a habitable temperature for the planet. Since the Industrial Revolution, however, consumption of fossil fuels has increased at an alarming rate, disrupting the global carbon cycle and leading to a warming effect on the planet. There are numerous implications for global warming including extreme weather patterns, altered crop growth and disrupted sea levels. This entry provides a historical to present day perspective on how CO2 emissions have evolved to meet the demands of the growing population, and furthermore, how these emissions are distributed within the top ten biggest producers in the world. This diagram depicts the key drivers of carbon dioxide emission and holds the key to understanding possible avenues of mitigation of climate change.

Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation for stochastic optimal control: Applications to spacecraft attitude control
Scholarship More info…
Creator
Golpashin, Alen Envieh
Description
This study aims to address the problem of attitude control of spacecraft in presence of thrust uncertainty, which leads to stochastic accelerations. Spacecraft equipped with electric propulsion and other low thrust mechanisms, often experience random fluctuations in thrust. These stochastic processes arise from sources such as uncertain power supply output, varying propellant flow rate, faulty thrusters, etc. Mission requirements and mass/fuel limitations demand an optimal and proactive method of control to mitigate the thrust uncertainty and parasitic torque. Stabilizing stochastic optimal control of the satellite attitude dynamics is derived through formulation of the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation associated with a stochastic differential equation. The solution to the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman partial differential equation is approximated through the method of Al’brekht [1]. Extension of Albrekht method for a stochastic system was first presented in [2]; detailed derivations of linear and nonlinear stochastic control laws along with their analytical and numerical analyses are presented in this thesis. A planning method is then discussed to lower the error due to local nature of the control.
Global heat balance without and with solar radiation management

Ding, Chenghao
Description
A linearized global heat balance model which is driven by five classes of influence on long wavelength radiation and four classes of influence on short wavelength radiation is calibrated against historical estimates of global average temperature. Additional influences are variability of solar irradiance and the initial global average temperature at the end of pre-industrial period. Industrial activities perturbs the concentration of CO2, CH4, N2O, tropospheric ozone, other greenhouse gases, and contrails in the atmosphere. Also, anthropogenic influences on short wavelength radiation including effects of land use changes on albedo, anthropogenic tropospheric aerosols and stratospheric ozone and black carbon on snow, effects of volcanoes, and variable solar irradiance are considered. The "climate sensitivity" of global average temperature response to these influences accounts for the "ice albedo" effect of global average temperature changes on absorption of short wavelength radiation and the influence of temperature changes on atmospheric water. Using the data-calibrated model, global average temperature is extrapolated to the year 2220.
AI concept map

Creator
Rastovac, Matthew
Description
NOTE: This is an interactive visualization. Beginners to the machine learning space are often surprised at the amount of terms present in the space. It’s often very difficult to make sense of where these terms originate from, which subfield of ML they belong to, or how they relate. The goal of the AI Concept Map is to demystify these relationships by displaying a concept map of the most common machine learning fields, concepts, models, and algorithms, and how they relate to each other. Understanding where each piece fits helps to understand the whole field and make it seem less daunting.
