How do you combine simple atmospheric dispersion modelling trajectories like this with environmental data and population biology knowledge to make short- and long-term predictions of desert locust swarm migration?

Back from 2 days at the UK vector-borne disease @ukvbd.bsky.social conference in Liverpool, where I discovered i) how little I understand about biology, but ii) how keen everyone else was to learn about atmospheric dispersion modelling. Thanks @baylism.bsky.social et al for bringing us all together!

How do you forecast the arrival of devastating crop diseases spread by fungal spores, blown 1000s of km on the wind and from countries in which you don't have knowledge of crop disease surveys? Use automated media scraping to generate proxy observations! rmets.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
