Zachary Labe

Zachary Labe is a climate scientist and modeler who has contributed to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) by enhancing the agency's application of machine learning and artificial intelligence for weather and climate predictions. His work focused on subseasonal-to-decadal forecasting, which is crucial for understanding long-term weather patterns. Labe was recently laid off as part of a significant workforce reduction at NOAA, which raised concerns about the impact on the agency's capabilities to address the escalating challenges posed by climate change.
