Out in the open ocean and in the deep fjords, a very special type of fish is hiding

Dear all, We are delighted to announce our monthly BCCR X-Theme seminar next week on Monday, May 18th, at 11:00, with the title “Terrestrial Ecosystems”, presented by Anne Bjune (Polar), Christian Quintana (Carbon) and Alistair William Robin Seddon (Hazards). Alistair William Robin Seddon will present "UV reconstructions across the Laschamps Event from Lake Suigetsu, Japan”. Anne Bjune will present “Climate, Crops, and Crisis? - Examining Agricultural Adaptation and Resilience to Climate Change in Prehistory”. Christian Quintana will present “Use of Testate amoeba in mountain peatlands in the south of Norway as a palaeohydrological indicator”. We hope to see you there! Best regards, Fiona and Johannes _________________________________________________________________________________________ Zoom link: https://uib.zoom.us/j/68304284910?pwd=2IgsDMWHuJlQw3XFHSTo3OoGBsRrhz.1 Meeting ID: 683 0428 4910 Password: 7pwZK4mG __________________________________________________________________________________________

Topic: Modeling the Polar regions - what do we have and what are we missing?

As a part of the BCCR Training Programme in Machine Learning, there will be a seminar on AI/ML research at the BCCR on Monday, June 1st from 11:00 to 14:00. We will have two sessions of two talks each, with a free lunch provided in between. The speakers will present their work using neural networks, with a focus on what type of neural network they use and how they help them solve their problems. Please sign up for a free lunch here: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=vCSKZI2pJUCcYEjBmhQgaemxD9CtoRROnJCKyVCOholURTRMWUtRNkdHN0xCMUpNVzhEU1ZNSUdOTS4u&route=shorturl Here is the current programme: 11:00 - 11:30 - Kamilla Wergeland from NORCE and Småkraft AS: Improving Day-Ahead Production Forecasts for Run-of-River Hydropower Using Long Short-Term Neural Networks. 11:30 - 12:00 - Antoine Bernigaud from NERSC: Super-resolution of sea surface height: U-net VS GAN. 12:00 - 13:00 - Lunch break 13:00 - 13:30 - Yangfan Zhou from GFI: Using deep learning for precipitation downscaling in Norway. 13:30 - 14:00 - Julien Brajard from NERSC: End-to-end AI forecasting of Arctic Sea Ice from observations.
