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

Happy to share that I defended my PhD this weekend! 🎉🎓 A great thank you to my supervisors, Sarunas Girdzijauskas and @mogren.ml. I'd also like to give a special thanks to Mark Jelasity and my grading committee: Sonja Buchegger, Eirini Ntoutsi, and Anwitaman Datta.

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!

When extracting streams from high-resolution digital elevation models, road culverts can be a pain. I explored an approach where a residual attention UNet was used to identify and breach road culverts, utilising ALS data and orthophotos. It works but produces a fair amount of false positives.
