🥳 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!

Clouds & Climate: A Fireside Chat with Gavin Pretor-Pinney & Dr Ed Gryspeerdt YouTube video by Cloud Appreciation Society

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

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.

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:

Our team at asterisk labs is co-organising TerraBytes - a one-of-a-kind workshop focused on the challenges of building global models and datasets for EO. 🟢🟡🔵

Special thanks to our amazing line-up of speakers, what’s Anne Crean, Head of Science and Innovation at the Institute of Physics, Sarah Bohndiek & Gemma Bale, programme directors from ARIA, and Gavin Pretor-Pinney, Member 001 of the Cloud Appreciation Society.

Asterisk Labs has officially launched! Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate with us last night at the Institute of Physics.

Asterisk is getting off the ground now, so stay tuned!

Miko is joining us full-time tomorrow!
