Scientists at the University of Hawaiʻi have developed new wildfire risk maps to better predict fire danger across the state. Unlike the current Red Flag Warning system, which relies on weather from a limited number of stations, these maps provide a daily, high-resolution look at the most current fire ignition risks statewide. “This new mapping system gives

More than 35 University of Hawaiʻi students from three campuses (UH Mānoa, UH Hilo and UH Maui College) gained hands-on experience tackling real-world challenges at the Aloha Data: AI Hackathon for Hawaiʻi’s Resilience, held April 4–6, at UH Mānoa. Participants formed interdisciplinary teams to build data-driven solutions using Google Cloud AI tools, including Vertex AI. Five challenge topics pushed students to apply diverse skills toward local and statewide resilience efforts, such

A new real-time dashboard launched by the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa offers public access to live weather data from nearly 70 monitoring stations across the state, marking a major milestone in the Hawaiʻi Mesonet project. The launch coincides with Wildfire Awareness Month and represents a pivotal moment in the effort to make climate data available to the public. Hawaiʻi’s

To strengthen Hawaiʻi’s flood and wildfire early warning systems and improve the state’s response to natural disasters and environmental dynamics impacts, a team of researchers at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, in partnership with the Hawaiʻi Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR), is installing an advanced network of 100 weather monitoring stations across the state to enhance weather and climate monitoring

Chaminade University is proud to partner with cutting-edge software company Constellation Network to expand a “datapreneurship” internship program aimed at empowering students to innovate in the emerging digital economy. Constellation Network, a leading blockchain solutions business, provides guidance and technical assistance to two federally-funded grant programs at Chaminade, including the $10 million NSF-INCLUDES ALL-SPICE Alliance aimed at

Student-developed Indigenous data visualization projects took center stage at the University of Hawaiʻi–West Oʻahu on September 27. The Indigenous Data Hub Fellows Hōʻike, hosted by the UH Office of Indigenous Knowledge and Innovation (OIKI), showcased innovative works blending ancestral knowledge with modern data visualization. Five students from Leeward Community College and UH Mānoa participated in the inaugural “Indigenous Data Hub Fellows” program, where they learned an equitable

How can you use artificial intelligence (AI) to improve how doctors process and treat patients? That is the challenge that a group of high school students from around the state tackled during a two-week summer course at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. Under the guidance of Associate Professor Mahdi Belcaid, the interns from eight Hawaiʻi high schools developed
