Excited to now have started the SSF-funded doctoral project "ML-Earth: Robust and data-efficient machine learning for Earth observation"!

Looking forward to working with and supervising Issa Tingzon at RISE Research Institutes of Sweden, jointly with Prof. Yifang Ban at KTH, over the coming years.

Ursäkta men jävla rasism! Jag står inte ut med det här längre. Varför kan vi inte bara försöka leva tillsammans och bete oss rimligt mot varandra. Vad är det för jäkla samhälle vi har när vår vice statsminister pratar om andra människor som en skinnskallenazist

US will exit 66 international organizations as it further retreats from global cooperation The Trump administration will withdraw from dozens of international organizations, including the U.N.’s population agency and the U.N. treaty that establishes international climate negotiations.

USA drar sig ur över 60 internationella samfund och samarbetsorgan inkl UNESCO, WHO och UNFCCC.

Det går snabbt utför nu.

AI data centers are forcing dirty ‘peaker’ power plants back into service In Chicago’s working-class Pilsen neighborhood, a 60s-era oil-fired power plant rises up from an industrial lot behind Dvorak Park, which in warmer weather is packed with children climbing on its colo...

AI-boomen i USA möjliggör uppstart av sk ”peakers” – gamla kraftanläggningar, ofta utan partikelfilter med låga skorstenar som förorenar och förgiftar lokalbefolkningen. Fattiga områden drabbas hårt.

Rasism styr regeringens agerande. Det är så brutalt tydligt här. Vet att flera redan har påpekat detta men behöver få det sagt även jag. Och fler får gärna säga ifrån, exempelvis oppositionen i riksdagen

Nina Wormbs: Låt det radikala hoppet leva 2026 Forskarna har börjat studera känslornas plats i klimatkrisen. Nina Wormbs skriver om världen viktigaste fråga på årets sista dag.

"De hade inte något stort hopp om att undvika massutrotning och klimatkatastrof, men ett litet hopp, om att göra världen mindre dålig."

Hög igenkänning. Mycket läsvärd artikel av Nina Wormbs.

I'm certain we're already passed 1.5C & just waiting for the running Avg to catch up.

I share @leonsimons.com view that it's patiently stupid to be looking through the rear view mirror

Tre veckor inför valet ska vi visa att vi är MÅNGA som vill ha en vettig, rättvis klimat- och miljöpolitik. En politik som värnar livet och framtida generationer.

Anslut gärna i Stockholm om du kan - eller organisera en manifestation där du bor.

Drömmen om grön tillväxt: Oroa inte ditt lilla huvud Alla vill minska utsläppen – ingen vill minska konsumtionen • Amanda Lind (MP): ”Man måste ta naturens gränser på allvar”

Att vi inte har ett politiskt parti i Sverige som vågar ifrågasätta att vi kan nå våra klimat- och miljömål med grön tillväxt är ganska bedrövlig. Det finns trots allt ganska mycket forskning på att grön tillväxt är en chimär.

Det här är en människorättsinskränkning som inte kan tillåtas. Polismyndigheten har upprättat en egen praxis (utan stöd i lag eller dom) som medför förödande konsekvenser för demonstrations- och yttrandefriheten. Må detta överprövas och polisens praxis kastas i sopkorgen där den hör hemma.

We will be #hiring in 2026, for IT positions (e.g. #MLops, software developer, bioinformatician, research software engineer) on a new project at @Naturalis . You should also have an interest in #AI and #biodiversity - that's our kind of unicorn! :) This is just a pre-announcement but feel free […]

Looking forward to a discussion at Sustainable Futures Lab Seminars with Elina Eriksson at KTH on AI and the meta-crisis!

Reached out to her after reading her (et al.) fascinating paper "Meta-crisis computing and you: Finding agency through the Two Loops model of change": dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...

The Dying Words The Cultural Dimensions of Environmental Change

Beautiful text by Gustau Camps-Valls, on the importance of words and language, especially during environmental breakdown (reminds me of many wisdoms from "Braiding Sweetgrass" which @delialia.bsky.social gave to me as a gift)
