Using Alteryx To Understand Climate Change
This is my second appearance on the Alteryx podcast. In this episode, I talk about my decade of work on climate change. It isn’t very technical, but I hope people appreciate the insights.
These are a collection of Ken Black’s Independent Research on Global Warming/Climate Change. The work began in 2014 and has continued through 2022.
This is my second appearance on the Alteryx podcast. In this episode, I talk about my decade of work on climate change. It isn’t very technical, but I hope people appreciate the insights.
This article investigates the sensitivity of my global warming simulator to the length of the simulations. I wanted to understand if 10, 20 , 30 or more years of data would be required before stable temperature predictions would be achieved.
This article discusses how I helped build the first-ever Alteryx E-Grand Prix competition. The article includes thoughts on building the competition problems and the behind-the-scenes activities that have to happen to make this type of event successful.
This article summarizes eight years of global warming research. It also happens to be my 400th article. There is a lot of information packed into the links.
Eight years ago, I had no idea that my work would lead to the topic of this article. Predicting temperatures far into the future is really hard to do. Somehow, I’ve managed to create a method that seems pretty good at doing that.
This is part 3 of a story that documents a recent trip to California.
Eight years of data-driven global warming research is wrapped up in this article. You can unpack a half-a-billion data points in this article to explore the ideas for yourself. You can download Tableau dashboards that will teach you a thing or two about linear modeling. Most of all, you will gain a better understanding of what is going on across our beautiful planet if you take the time to study this work.
We were already down two strikes by the end of day 1. Mother nature was throwing curveballs at us that we could not have hit. Who would have thought that a National Park could be on fire on the day that you traveled thousands of miles to see it?
This is going to be a multi-part story about my global warming research and how my insights can be interpreted and understood. I think this series will be a good one.

Is Alteryx valuable enough for you? To help you decide, I’ve written a few thoughts on the topic. Please read the article to learn more.
Alteryx has a secret weapon when working with large data sets. This weapon is called Calgary files. In this article, I show an example of using Calgary files.
Today is Earth day which reminded me that I wanted to talk about a peculiar temperature change pattern I’ve detected. I don’t have the answer of why it has occurred over a four-day window in April. This pattern is revealing itself over 60 years through millions of temperature readings. Be sure to get to the end of the file to see the baby birdies!
I have been conducting focused work for six years that has allowed me to create something interesting. I can now produce global warming calendars that allow me to track how global warming is impacting temperatures in any region of the world. In this article, I show monthly calendars for the United States.
It has taken me a while to understand something important about Alteryx and Tableau. Each of these products are very sticky. By sticky, I mean that I have become dependent upon them to do a lot of different jobs. They both are great products for different reasons, but the combination of them is hard to beat when working with data.
Germany has been hit harder than a lot of countries by global warming. It has passed the dreaded 2 degree C change in annual temperatures between 1960 and 2017. This article shows how the global warming signals have been detected in Germany.
