Thanks to Climate AI Nordics for featuring our project and my PhD research DEPRIMAP in the monthly newsletter. The featured project webpage provides an overview of the DEPRIMAP project and its planned implementation in three phases
Last week, Sai Ganesh Veeravalli attended the ELLIS Winter School: AI for Earth System, Hazards & Climate Extremes in Athens, Greece, an intensive and genuinely thought-provoking experience.
Stefanos Georganos attended the launch event of SESAC (Swedish Competence Centre for Satellite-Enabled Social Science Analytics) on March 5, 2026, at Lund University, Sweden. Two posters were presented at the event.
