style="box-sizing: border-box;"><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://leap.columbia.edu/">https://leap.columbia.edu/</a></u></strong>)
aims to develop next-generation climate models by developing and
applying modern data science algorithms. <i>LEAP is a joint
effort between Columbia University, the University of California
Irvine, New York University, The University of Minnesota,
Teachers College, the National Center for Academic Research
(NCAR), and the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies
(GISS). </i> LEAP’s primary research objective is to improve
near-term climate projections by merging Earth System modeling
with new methods in machine learning.</p>
