Flying Cleaner: How Google reduces the climate impact of aviation with AI

​Aviation impacts climate not just through CO₂ but also via contrails that trap heat in the upper atmosphere. AI can crunch massive flight logs, satellite data, and weather models to predict where contrails will form—and then tweak routes to avoid them. Steffen Van will walk us through Google’s latest machine‑learning pipelines for contrail forecasting, share real‑world pilot results, and map out the path toward truly cleaner skies.

​You’ll learn the basics of contrails.
You’ll see how AI can reshape flight paths.
You’ll get a peek at Google’s cutting‑edge research.
You’ll hear what comes next for cleaner skies.

​Open to all students—CS, environmental science, engineering, and beyond. Stay after for networking and a live Q&A with Steffen on his work and life at Google’s, or career tips.
