i recently spoke with claudia tebaldi, climate scientist with pacific northwest national laboratory,atest report on the global impacts of rising sea levels. >> just because of sea level rise, what used to be a 100 year event right now will become an annual event, and this happens, unfortunately, at many locations around the world, even with warming that is limited to one and a half degrees, which is, as you know, a very at this point aspirational goal. unfortunately, the last i.p.c.c. report has said that we may hit one and a half degrees in the 2030s. >> sreenivasan: is this likely to be uniform around all of the coastal areas or are there particular sections of the planet that are going to get the sea level rise impacts worse? >> so, we know that there are areas that we see for the same amount of warming, much more sea level rise than other areas where sea level rise will be of lesser magnitude. and in particular, we see areas of the tropics and subtropics seeing this change much more, i would say easily than areas, for example, in the northern hemisphere, like northern europe of t

the department of energy's pacific northwest national laboratory has developed a system that incorporatesellite imaging, artificial intelligence, and machine learning to project wildfires early in predict the path they will take. i am joined by the product manager for radar fire, this new technologically advanced system. neil, thank you so much for joining us. as i understand it, traditionally, firefighters are flying over blazes at night, drawing maps of where the flames are, then using that in the morning to determine where to fight the fire. how would your technology change that process? >> so, emily, you are correct. today there is an air agency fire center that dispatches planes to gather these infrared images overnight, and they to human analyst drawings. they feed not so much hand drawn, but computer drawing maps to incident commanders. the challenge is always to know, where is the fire now, and where is it going in the next hour, two hours, three hours. you heard mark mentioned spot fires, how fast can i know if they are jumping out of the fire, whether it is into infrastructure o
