"The power of human beings to control and change the environment is growing as our technology grows. At present, we clearly have reached the stage where we are capable to make significant changes in the global climate."

-Carl Sagan, 1985

🎉 The ELLIOT project Kick-off Meeting was successfully hosted by CERTH-ITI, in Thessaloniki! 🏛️

30 partners from 12 countries 🌍 launched this exciting journey to advance open, trustworthy AI and #FoundationModels across Europe. 🤖

Stay tuned for more updates on #AIresearch and #TrustworthyAI! 💡

It was so great to see @projectconcerto.eu at the AI4C workshop! 🎶🌍💻

They want to close the NOAA lab (GML) that brings you this, the most iconic time series in the environmental sciences.

Your war machine and greed have left no place in the world untouched. #noIranWar

This morning, the only country to ever use nuclear bombs on cities, alongside the only one with undeclared nukes outside the NPT, dropped the world’s biggest bomb on a state with no nuclear weapons, under the strictest monitoring, and a signatory of the NPT. #noIranWar

📯Calling all AI x Climate researchers!

The CMCC Workshop on AI for Carbon (June 30-July 2, Lake Como) just opened their poster submissions!

The venue and list of speakers are absolutely stunning 😍

This weekend, visited #ChrisWareCCCB exhibition! It is super cool! If you are around, highly recommended!

I forgot to share the after the session picture as well! 😄

🌍 #EGU25 concludes: a dynamic week of science & collaboration in Vienna with the participation of ➕30 BSC researchers

💡Highlights:

● Patricia Tarín presented her research on "Quantifying the Burden of Air Pollution on Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Europe"

Greenhouse gas emissions are still mostly from fossil fuels by the way!!

Two circular maps of Europe from the "European State of the Climate Report 2024" by the EU's Copernicus Climate Change Service. The left map shows temperature anomalies and extremes in 2024, with most of Europe shaded in red tones indicating warmer to much warmer than average temperatures. The right map displays precipitation anomalies and extremes in 2024, with much of western and central Europe in shades of blue indicating wetter than average conditions, while eastern regions show brown shades representing drier conditions. Colour scales at the bottom of each map range from "coolest" to "warmest" (left) and "driest" to "wettest" (right).

In 2024, Europe was the world’s fastest-warming continent.

It had its hottest year on record, impacting an estimated 413,000 people. Sea surface temperatures also reached new highs.

As our planet heats up, urgent action is more critical than ever.

Great connecting at @ecmwf.int Annual Meeting! Presented my poster on historical land cover & LAI reconstruction in CERISE with AI/ML 🌍🌱. Excellent discussions on how this foundations @projectconcerto.eu & @terradt.bsky.social ! Looking forward to building on this.

Look who is here in @ecmwf.int ancillary data for land surface and earth system modelling workshop! @projectconcerto.eu 🤩

Excited to kick off the workshop on ancillary data for #LandSurface and #EarthSystem modelling! Later today, come by and chat with us about our work on Leaf Area Index #LAI as part of the #CERISE project.

The emergence of heat and humidity too severe for human tolerance Humid heat extremes are rapidly increasing and may have already briefly exceeded humans’ physiological survivability limit.

We're on the edge of hitting these "uncompensable" temperatures in a few places, such as the Middle East and India.

Lots of great talks at the @ecmwf.int annual meeting today ; really nice to see @bsc-cns.bsky.social #MN5 pop up in the mix. 🤩🌍🌤️💻

@victorpatrascan.bsky.social
Great show tonight in #Barcelona.
Looking forward to see back here! Thank you! 🍉🙏🏼❤️

Checked out the Amazonias: The Ancestral Future exhibition at #CCCB — super interesting and beautifully done. Definitely worth a visit if you’re around #BCN #Amazonias

So on March 9, a French scientist, on a visa to attend a conference in Houston, was denied entry to the US and subsequently expelled because his phone had messages decrying scientific policies put forward by the Trump administration: www.lemonde.fr/internationa...

🚀🌍 The #CONCERTO_WorkPackages campaign continues!

📽️🛰️ Work Package 2, develops satellite data-based products to improve land use mapping.

🌿🖥️ It creates a long-term dataset for the leaf area index & a framework to assess land management intensity, enhancing carbon budget insights.

The #CONCERTO_KickOff meeting is wrapped! 👏

For 2 days the partners planned goals to improve carbon cycle models and ways to support the European Green Deal🍃

A strong start, and we’re excited for upcoming meetings to dive deeper into the #science.

Stay tuned for more updates! 🌱

Same. Yesterday in my last lecture of the semester, we discussed the importance of defending science and knowledge against the rising threats globally. CO2 will keep rising if we don't do anything about it, and it will keep warming the planet. With or without a website. It's just plain physics...
