This study examines recent research trends in the application of artificial intelligence (AI) to climate change research. Using a refined keyword dataset extracted from the abstracts of 5,103 research articles identified through title- and author-keyword-based search criteria in the Web of Science Core Collection and published between January 2018 and June 2025, we applied Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic modelling to i...
