Having worked on increasing my individual/family resilience and preparedness for the last 5 years, I finally asked my daughter's best friends dad if we should start working on some community resilience in our neighbourhood. And he said yes!

Looking forward to talk about Climate AI Nordics (@climateainordics.com) at this webinar, March 12th, 14:00 CET! www.year-network.com/ourevents/fo...

Minature version of the recent Thomas Vinterberg tv show about the proactive evacuation and shutdown of Denmark due to the climate. In this case a neighbourhood in Skåne that is getting evacuated and all buildings demolished. (Swedish article) www.dn.se/ekonomi/dera...

Exciting new partnership between @climateainordics.com and Klimatkollen! Check out the press release (in Swedish) here: www.mynewsdesk.com/se/klimatbyr...

Many of the researchers that have joined Climate AI Nordics are also on Bluesky - check them out in our Starter Pack! 🌟

🚀 Registration Now Open for the @ELLISforEurope Summer School: AI for Earth & Climate Sciences! 🌍🤖 Join us in Jena, Germany from September 1–5, 2025 📅 Apply now through March 31. Notifications by April. 🔗 www.ellis-jena.eu/summer-schoo... 🎯 @uni-jena.de, @MPI-BGC, @carlzeissstiftung.bsky.social

We're excited about partnering with the Global Wetland Center (GWC), which consists of researchers and experts from DHI, The University of Copenhagen, and The Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland. The center focuses on integrating wetlands into climate change mitigation strategies. 🌍

🌍📡 Join our webinar: Tech-Informed Nature Conservation – Are We There Yet? 🌱🤖 Explore AI, Earth observation & biodiversity protection! With Abdulhakim Abdi from Lund University 📅 Feb 20, 2025 climateainordics.com/events/2025-... #ClimateAI #ccai #TechForNature

We celebrate our 100th member with the first newsletter of 2025! Read about recent and coming seminars, workshops, and the modelling of road culverts in high-resolution digital elevation models. climateainordics.com/newsletter/2...

Very interesting to learn: permaculture has a similar productivity as conventional industrial agriculture! https://ecology.peercommunityin.org/PCIEcology/articles/rec?id=757 This is "the first large-scale empirical evidence of permaculture production outcomes for Central Europe". #permaculture

First 28 days of 2025 were 1.75°C above pre-industrial! Even with La Niña cooling the planet down somewhat, this will be the hottest January in history. The Global warming rate might have more than doubled!

When I grew up in Sweden in the 1990s the government distributed the book “Tell Ye Your Children”. Its purpose is to remind people how fascism, and seeing oneself as better than others can lead to inhuman evil. I think about it often and recommend you read it too.

So glad I attended this excellent summer school last year! Course material available, see below!

Partnership between Climate AI Nordics and AfriClimate AI 🌍 AfriClimate AI is a grassroots community dedicated to harnessing the power of AI for a sustainable, prosperous and climate-resilient Africa. We hope this will inspire further collaborations between our two regional AI-for-climate networks!

Global warming has accelerated, a lot! The first 19 days of 2025 were on average +1.74°C above pre-industrial. That's about 0.1°C warmer than the same period last year. Then we had an El Niño, now a La Niña.

My latest article with @laurielaybourn.bsky.social in which we explore how climate impacts such as devastating wildfires can erode our collective ability to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions which are increasing such impacts. A dynamic we call derailment risk. open.substack.com/pub/jamesdyk...

Soon attending a workshop on non-violent communication (NVC) that a dear friend is organizing in Lund. Today's topic is "Dealing with aggressive behaviour". Looking forward to some hands-on insight to the NVC framework, of which I've heard good things in the past.

Our CVPR Workshop EarthVision, bridging computer vision and Earth observation, was accepted at #CVPR2025 for its 8th edition! Submit your papers by March 3 and stay tuned for more info : grss-ieee.org/events/earth...

The Global Climate Highlights 2024 report is now online. Delve in the analysis and access all the charts, information, and data on temperature, sea ice, precipitation, and greenhouse gas concentrations. Explore the data that defined 2024: https://bit.ly/40kQpcz #C3S #GCH2024

⚠️ BREAKING: @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social have just confirmed the devastating but predictable news that 2024 was the FIRST YEAR TO EXCEED 1.5ºC ABOVE PRE-INDUSTRIAL LEVELS. It is the warmest year since records began in 1850. 🧵 1/7 buff.ly/3W8t4s5

Climate AI Nordics is growing! Read about some of our activities in the newsletter, and join us to take part in the discussion!

🤔 What if embedding multimodal EO data was as easy as using a ResNet on images? Introducing AnySat: one model for any resolution (0.2m–250m), scale (0.3–2600 hectares), and modalities (choose from 11 sensors & time series)! Try it with just a few lines of code:

I've just launched my new webpage, johnmartinsson.org, where I share my research on machine listening for bioacoustics and ecosystem monitoring. Especially happy about the little clickable animal icons in the top. Click on a few to make a soundscape! #Bioacoustics #MachineLearning #MachineListening

Some thoughts on technology development assuming an end to growth in the not too distant future: aleksispi.github.io/ht4lt/ I'd love to hear more thoughts under this assumption! #postgrowth

I started to put together a starter pack for research in AI+Ecology, check it out and let me know if you would like to be added! go.bsky.app/8zugFF6

Excited to have joined the core team of the new GEO AI4EO working group! Group on Earth Observations (GEO) is the UN body for EO, and the AI4EO working group will play a crucial role in GEO's post-2025 vision "Earth intelligence for all". More to follow! earthobservations.org #ccai

The next generation of probabilistic machine learning for weather called GenCast is published in @natureportfolio.bsky.social today 🥳. Amazing to see the collective progress in ML for weather as a field over the last 5 years. 🏖️ www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I want to give you this hadith, as reworded by my friend: "If you're planting a flower and you look up to see that the world is ending, finish planting the flower."

Looking forward to hosting yet another AI-for-the-environment seminar at the RISE Lund office today, jointly with Climate Change AI Nordics! See you in Lund or online at 15:00 today! #ccai
