Better late than never, bye bye X. See you on the other side (my handle .bsky.social)

Eerste editie wetenschapsfestival CurieuCity: “Leren op speelse manier”: bruzz.be/select/events-…

#games4geo are a great way to make complex topics fun and accessible for all ages! Happy to demo our LEGO urban climate game at @EuroGeosciences. Can you cool your city? #EGU24 @vub_etro @meteobenl @FloodSkinner

The result of 4-years work is finally out with this special issue on @EGU_NPG and I want to thank the amazing colleagues who made this possible: Tommaso Alberti (@INGVambiente), @ladc42 (@VUBrussel), @chlefHH (@IBS_media), Melinda Galfi (@VUamsterdam)! npg.copernicus.org/articles/31/18…

Naar inleiding van de #InternationalWomensDay2024 werden twee vrouwelijke onderzoekers, @ladc42 en Souad Ech-Chakrouni van het KMI geïnterviewd in de laatste e-Science Connection @Belspo. meteo.be/nl/info/nieuws…

"Weersvoorspellers worden koud gepakt door AI", maar Prof Lesley De Cruz @ladc42 van @VUBrussel en KMI @meteobenl is on the job @researchvub standaard.be/cnt/dmf2023111…

One day left to visit our AI-powered LEGO city planner! Can you make your city climate resilient?

How can we ensure that scientific developments and insights get translated into effective disaster risk management? Looking forward to 3 days of sharing insights and experiences with European colleagues from science&policy @eu_echo @SantAnnaPisa @vub_etro @meteobenl #derisc

Happy to kick off the #DERISC project and #EXPRIMA FED-tWIN with @ReinosoRadar and so many stakeholders on the Rainfall Hazards Workshop! Let's co-create better impact-based warnings for extreme rainfall and floods. Thanks to @belspo @meteobenl @pwillemskul @vub_etro @VMMbe

Interesse in atmosferisch onderzoek (bv. over stadsklimaat)? De vakgroep Fysica en Sterrenkunde (UGent) zoekt een assistent. Naast een onderwijsopdracht is er ruimte om onderzoek te doen bv. aansluitend bij de groep 'Atmosferisch Fysica'. Vacature: career012.successfactors.eu/career?company…

@Helenreflects @davidchalmers42 Like many other replies I would say transformers, self-attention, explainability, GANs (the technology behind thispersondoesnotexist.com) and ground-breaking applications such as AlphaFold. But that's just a tiny selection from a field that's exploded in the last decade.

what are the most important intellectual breakthroughs (new ideas) in AI in the last ten years?

What a day! Ahead of @EradSwitzerland, we met for a full-day short course on precipitation nowcasting with #pysteps. Curious to see more? Checkout the course material here: github.com/pySTEPS/ERAD-n…

Thank you for following #ClimarisQ présentation by our game designer @DaviFaranda @EuroGeosciences #EGU22 Now time to download the game and save the planet 💚

De inschrijvingen voor 10 jaar @Hallefietst met @De_andere_Kris en #OttoJanHam lopen vlot binnen. Maar er zijn nog plaatsen vrij. Wil je er graag bij zijn reserveer dan je plaats op fietsfeesthalle.eventbrite.be

The @VUBrussel will soon be led by @DanckaertJan or @dokter_devroey. In an open letter, both candidates are called to place sustainability at the heart of @VUBrussel and to embark on the path to climate neutrality, with signatories as partner. Join here: openletter.earth/open-brief-aan…

to apply for a tenure track position at KU Leuven (50%) & work leader at Royal Meteorological Institute of Belgium (50%) on Probabilistic Nowcasting and Forecasting of Extreme Precipitation for Impact-Based Warning Systems (EXPRIMA FED-tWIN) (2/2) kuleuven.be/personeel/jobs…

Are you a junior scientist (PhD <= 12 years ago) eager to bridge the gap between meteorology and hydrology? Do you want to help create seamless impact-based warning systems and make society more resilient to climate extremes? I have good news for you! You have one more week (1/2)
