🌍 Next Earth2Vec Monthly Meeting - two topics this month! May 29, 3pm CEST • BetaEarth: Emulating Earth Embeddings - Mikolaj Czerkawski, @asterisk-labs.bsky.social • Geometric Interpolation - Erik Scheurer, @fzj-jsc.bsky.social Join via Discord: discord.com/invite/Ym6ng... @euspa.bsky.social

Mark you calendars for the 20th of May European EFI Chapter monthly seminar at 1pm CET! Mikolaj Czerkawski from @asterisk-labs.bsky.social will present on “Earth Observation for Global Semantic Understanding of the Environment.”

🥳 Welcome onboard Paul Borne--Pons! Paul is joining us for a few months before starting his PhD on the topic of massively multi-modal 3D cloud observations. 😶‍🌫️ Paul will work on improving the efficiency of our cloud top height estimation in Clouds Decoded using DNN emulation!

⏯️ You can now watch the fireside chat we hosted last Friday with @cloudappsoc.bsky.social:

Clouds & Climate: A Fireside Chat with Gavin Pretor-Pinney & Dr Ed Gryspeerdt

A visually stunning crash course on clouds and their importance in climate from Gavin Pretor-Pinney (the founding member of the Cloud Appreciation Society) featured in @nytimes.com: interactive-server.newsdev.nytimes.com/share/c65b68...

Changing Clouds May Tell Us Something About Climate Change

Clouds are changing, and we need to find out if it’s just temporary or from global warming.
