Climate change, water change and the critical role of community resilience

Dr. Amanda Shankland, Dr. Carolyn Johns, and Gail Krantzberg, explore climate change resilience, water change, and the critical role of climate-ready communities.
Figure 1. Comparison of prediction models in A) two-dimensional (2D) and B) three-dimensional (3D) analyses. The 2D model demonstrates a poor-fitting linear relationship constrained by limited variables. In contrast, the 3D model incorporates an additional dimension, providing a better fit and improved predictive accuracy. This highlights how multi-dimensional analysis, such as those enabled by machine learning, can uncover more complex relationships within heterogeneous clinical and biological data.
