Extreme temperatures threaten lives and livelihoods. In Pennsylvania, ClimateSight mapped the number of days that temperatures will rise above 90°F by 2050 and identified potential climate risks to human health where vulnerable populations are most exposed to extreme heat. Our analysis and insights inform adaptation and resilience planning across the state.
Cloud-based climate risk analytics
Uncertainty surrounding climate change shouldn't be a barrier to action. In fact, it should motivate us to be proactive. By harnessing big data and employing Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud technology, our experts use ClimateSight® to generate customized climate projections and risk analyses across any time horizon and geography, from small towns to the entire globe.
Coupled with our expert consulting, ClimateSight harnesses cloud computing, big datasets, and advanced climate science to identify key risk scenarios and actionable insights across industries, including:
- Finance: Screens potential investments for risks and opportunities
- Energy: Assesses vulnerability to inform long-term infrastructure and resilience planning
- Federal: Targets national expenditure and regional program development
- State and local government: Assesses vulnerability and adaptation strategies
- Agriculture: Projects crop yield, growing-season changes, and adaptation for long-term planning
Custom climate risk analysis from global climate projection data
Identifying climate risks is key to addressing them. Our team leverages ClimateSight’s innovative enterprise and AWS cloud computing to store and analyze terabytes of historical and projected climate data. By using high-resolution downscaled CMIP5 and CMIP6 Global Climate Model datasets, ClimateSight analyzes a large range of future climate hazards to align with hyper-local decision-making.
Decision-first approach for actionable insight
Our flexible analytical environment enables tailored variable calculations matched to client decisions, such as temperature metrics tied to agriculture yield and energy demand. ClimateSight uses large Global Climate Model (GCM) ensembles to help quantify future climate change uncertainty, developing probabilistic projections that support risk-based decision-making and high-impact outcomes.
A human-centered approach to decision making
Our experts combine industry and technology expertise to deliver tailored solutions. We provide a holistic approach to understanding and addressing climate risks so that you can increase mission impact.

Identifying heat-related threats to electrical infrastructure
ClimateSight projected 1-in-10 year maximum temperatures at midcentury around Portland, Oregon, to determine heat-related risks that increasingly threaten electrical infrastructure. We identified a range of future climate conditions to account for multiple greenhouse gas emission scenarios. Equipped with these projections, utilities can invest in resilience efforts to prevent and limit heat-related power outages.

Projecting precipitation around transportation infrastructure
Fueled by climate change, flooding and heavy precipitation damage roads and other transportation infrastructure. ClimateSight projected and mapped heavy precipitation at midcentury to state roadways around Portland, Oregon. Our analysis helps planners build with resilience against increasing flood risks.
