WATCH: PML on ITV tonight at 7pm (UK time)! Dr James Clark (@drjimclark.bsky.social) and Dr Saskia Rรผhl were among the PML experts interviewed by Martin Stew / ITV News about our #AI capabilities, including the APICS project which uses #MachineLearning to identify #plankton species.

In addition to studying ocean transport, particle tracking models can be used for fun! Animation made using the model PyLag (github.com/pmlmodelling...), which I coded while at @plymouthmarine.bsky.social, and surface ocean currents from CMEMS (Product: GLOBAL_REANALYSIS_PHY_001_031). Enjoy!

The project is delivered in collaboration with marine research institutes from across the EU and US. Below is a sample of the type of data you would be working with. This was collected using one of the plankton cameras at @plymouthmarine.bsky.social.
