🧵 Are you following what could be this year's most consequential East Coast ocean story? Odyssey Marine Exploration is asking the Dept. of the Interior for a lease to mine ~2,500 sq. miles of seafloor off Virginia's coast. Here is why this raises major red flags: 1/7

Interested in doing a postdoc in plankton ecology, on topics of community assembly, trait-based ecological resilience, stressor interactions, harmful algal blooms and others? Contact me to discuss developing a proposal for MSU's EEB Presidential Postdoc Fellowship (Nov 1 application deadline).

Join us through the Presidential Postdoctoral Fellowship in EEB! Conduct your own research, mentored by 2+ EEB faculty. $65k salary + research/moving $. All areas of EEB welcome. Apply by 11/1 I co-chair this search and am happy to field questions Spread the word! eeb.msu.edu/initiatives/...

Does anyone have a link to an official source that shows the deadline to submit papers so they can be included in IPCC AR7 WGI? Web search gives me March 2027 for submission and October 2027 for acceptance but not from an official source.

I'm teaching my course on AI, energy, and climate again this fall, and restructuring the class as the field keeps evolving. If you have new work or resources you think we should cover, send them my way. The class starts ⁱⁿ ᵗʰʳᵉᵉ ʷᵉᵉᵏˢ at ⁸﹕³⁰ ᵃᵐ

Fall Course: AI Engineering and Policy for Climate Mitigation and Resilience 
Learn how artificial intelligence and data centers affect the climate and environment, and about the policy options to improve societal outcomes 

Prof. Costa Samaras
12-607 – 9 units for undergraduate students, open to all
12-707 – 12 units for graduate students, open to all
90-746 – 12 units for graduate students in Heinz College of Information Systems and Public Policy
 
Course Summary
The use of Artificial Intelligence enables both opportunities and risks for the energy system and for broader climate mitigation and climate resilience efforts. An understanding of how AI tools affect these systems is essential for decision-makers to be able to protect the public, advance innovation, maximize the benefits, and minimize the risks. Students will use readings, open data, and technical examples to examine emerging AI applications for climate mitigation and resilience, evaluate potential impacts and benefits, and communicate their technical recommendations through policy briefs. Students successfully completing this course will be able to understand a suite of AI tools, and describe how AI can affect energy use, communities, greenhouse gas emissions, and climate resilience.

Days: Mondays and Wednesdays
Time: 8:30AM to 9:50AM (but this font is really small because it's an early time)

I started a marine biogeochemistry podcast, where I ask scientists questions about the cycling of elements through the ocean. This is a place where we can nerd it out, for scientists and marine science students. Listen here, or spotify/apple podcasts applied-marine-biogeochemistry.org/podcast/
