New Podcast and YouTube episode - BetaEarth: Open Embeddings of Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-1 with a Little Help of AlphaEarth with @mikonvergence

🥳 Welcome onboard Paul Borne--Pons! Paul is joining us for a few months before starting his PhD on the topic of massively multi-modal 3D cloud observations. 😶‍🌫️ Paul will work on improving the efficiency of our cloud top height estimation in Clouds Decoded using DNN emulation!

⏯️ You can now watch the fireside chat we hosted last Friday with @CloudAppSoc: youtube.com/live/_-s_RsLeF…

A visually stunning crash course on clouds and their importance in climate from Gavin Pretor-Pinney (the founding member of the @CloudAppSoc) featured in @nytimes: interactive-server.newsdev.nytimes.com/share/c65b6867…

Check out this extraordinary talk covering asterisk and clouds decoded delivered by our own Jacqueline Campbell 🥰

🌎 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁: If you are coming from a different discipline and have a clear vision of how you could grow Asterisk with us, especially with ideas for how to fund new research projects, we are ready to consider. (4/4)

☁️ 𝗔𝘁𝗺𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁: working primarily on the Clouds Decoded project, funded by @ARIA_research Skills and knowledge in atmospheric sciences, cloud processes and/or radiative transfer. (3/4)

Asterisk Labs is expanding its team of climate and Earth observation scientists. You could help us build an alternative to the usual routes for doing research, prioritising positive societal impact, and democratic worker control! asterisk.coop/careers.html (1/4)

It's almost time! TerraBytes starts tomorrow at @icmlconf 2025 in Vancouver #ICML2025 📍 08:30 West Meeting Room 111-112 🗞️ Papers are now accessible on the workshop website below the programme: terrabytes-workshop.github.io

📢 Join the conversation: @asterisk_labs has been contracted by the European Space Agency @esa to draft a dedicated expert report on AI for Copernicus and is gathering stakeholder feedback. More info: linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

@maryxw @eric_is_weird We have already connected (and indeed enjoyed connecting) before - thank you @maryxw!

@eric_is_weird Brag much? See you next week! Do you know @asterisk_labs? They have a co-op research lab structure. Y’all might enjoy connecting.

Just landed in London. In town through next week! Also am weirdly not jet lagged, so I’m free for a lunch meeting today if that happens to work for any of you!

⚠️ Nearly 40 billion (39,820,373,479) new embeddings of Major TOM Copernicus data now released! More details: linkedin.com/feed/update/ur… Data available on @huggingface and @creodias Joint work with @CloudFerro, @asterisk_labs and @esa

Tomorrow at @EuroGeosciences: 𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐤 𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐬 presenting 𝐂𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐝𝐬 𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐝 🌫️ (28 April at 12:20) Join us for early results, validation and future perspective for studying clouds in Sentinel-2 data! meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/EGU25-17… funded by @ARIA_research

You can now find us on instagram and enjoy some breathtaking images of clouds from space 😶‍🌫️ 🎞️🛰️ instagram.com/asterisk_labs

Our team at asterisk labs is co-organising TerraBytes - a one-of-a-kind workshop focused on the challenges of building global models and datasets for EO. 🟢🟡🔵

Special thanks to our amazing line-up of speakers, Anne Crean, Head of Science and Innovation at @PhysicsNews, @SarahBohndiek & @GemmaBale, Programme Directors from @ARIA_research, and Gavin Pretor-Pinney, Member 001 of the @CloudAppSoc.

Asterisk Labs has officially launched! Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate with us last night at the Institute of Physics. Asterisk is getting off the ground now, so stay tuned!
