The sun sets over Vienna on the last day of #lps25 - a more relaxed day ending earlier than usual (and a bit less hot outside). Lots of cool science presented here over the last few days, with various new insights for my own research. See you at the next edition 3 years from now! ;)

Sadly, it's the final day of @esa.int #LPS25 in Vienna. There are are still lots of interesting sessions to attend, including talks by @julietbiggs.bsky.social and Luke Bateson (@bgs.ac.uk) on using AI for monitoring natural hazards, @ednadualeh.bsky.social and Camilla Medici. Full schedule below:

Day 4 of @esa.int Living Planet Symposium 2025 #LPS25 Join us at the poster session later today to learn about preparations for the upcoming Harmony mission with @julietbiggs.bsky.social @bristolvolcanology.bsky.social and deep learning methods for interseismic observations with Kun Jiang.

Day 3 at #lps25 wrapped up! Lots of COMET talks and posters to see…. and a little COMET group photo of those we could gather during the focaccia break. On to day 4 now!

Day 3 of @esa.int #LPS25 in Vienna is in full flow! At 11.30am we have two talks by @timwrightleeds.bsky.social and Camila Novoa Lizama from @envleeds.bsky.social. At 4.15pm Erin Mills @bgs.ac.uk is presenting and, after that session, there will be lots of COMET posters to see. More info below:

Day 2 at #lps25: a busy poster session (with drinks and snacks provided..), a swim in the Donau between sessions, more natural hazard sessions, and to wrap up the day: a shared COMET and @cpom-uk.bsky.social dinner that took over half of a restaurant. See you tomorrow for more…!

It's day 2 of @esa.int #LPS25 in Vienna. At 2pm today COMET Scientist @yassermaghsoudi.bsky.social will be speaking about the "Development of an InSAR Phase Bias Correction Processor". You will also find two @envleeds.bsky.social PhD research posters in the poster hall from 5.45pm. More info below:
