I’ve made all my university courses available as playlists on #YouTube with links to the full content in my free, online e-book! 📚✨Check it out here: YouTube.com/GeostatsGuyLec… As a professor, I’m dedicated to sharing knowledge and making learning both accessible and actionable for everyone! 🎓🌍

How do we apply #MachineLearning & #AI as competent, professional engineers or scientists? I’ve been reflecting on this critical topic and would like to share some of my thoughts based on decades of experience with #DataScience for modeling the subsurface. I’ve discussed this further in a recent video on #YouTube @ youtu.be/W_ZDg1Wb2vM?si… ∀.

A heavy downpour can ruin the day for many coastal communities, causing flooded roads & power outages. @CEEatGT's Iris Tien is working to tame the flood, giving coastal areas data to put the right flood control infrastructure in the right places. Dive in: b.gatech.edu/4hKlHzi

Looking at snow reports we find that much of the area got about 3-4” of combined sleet/snow accumulation. You can see where the sleet really cut into the totals in northern Charleston County and into the Sea Islands and West Ashley.
