GIS Seminar: Geospatial AI for Beehive Health

Tidspunkt

09. oktober 2024, 11:00-12:00

Sted

Kvartsitten (3rd floor of Realfagbygget opposite the mammoth)

Dear All,

We are excited to continue our monthly seminar series on geospatial methods, and we invite you to join us for the next talk in the series. This month, we will feature a presentation by Julien Vadnais, a new PhD candidate who will present the findings from his master thesis. His work focuses on the use of geospatial AI to predict the health of honey bee colonies in various landscapes:

Talk Title: Applications of geospatial artificial intelligence and big data to assess the effects of landscape on beehives' health

Abstract:
Honey bees play a critical role in ecosystems, but in recent years, colony mortality rates have been on the rise. This presentation will explore how geospatial data and machine learning can be used to predict beehive health across different landscapes. Coupling a unique dataset comprising georeferenced health reports on 6,704 colonies in the province of Quebec, Canada, with various remote sensing products, we computed landscape metrics at multiple scales and ran a Random Survival Forests (RSF) model to predict the lifespan of colonies in various landscape scenarios.

Date: Wednesday 9th of October 13:00
Location: Kvartsitten (3rd floor of Realfagbygget opposite the mammoth)
Speaker: Julien Vadnais, Department of Earth Science, UiB

Call for Speakers
If you are interested in presenting your geospatial work or know of an external speaker who would be a good fit for our seminar series, please get in touch! We have funding available for three external guest speakers to visit Bergen this semester.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Ben, Suzette, Dan, Elise

Stormtracks group meeting

Hi everyone, We’ll have our last Stormtracks group meeting of the semester this Wednesday (10.12) from 13:00 to 14:00 in U105. This week Ozan will give a talk on Results from Impetus4Change and EuroCordex simulations of regional climate with WRF. We’ll also have our holiday social with sweets! The meeting will be hybrid and you can join remotely via Zoom: https://uib.zoom.us/j/62886269543?pwd=ajWbi97zr0hbniaoQdZkUtD2EUSSri.1 Meeting ID: 628 8626 9543 | Password: qSKTfKU3 The meeting schedule for this semester is in the following google doc and we’ll have new schedule for next semester soon. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yjicxkFp_8Y17LVftgksb1SnqSUSUXogg0pOFZfbK0g/edit?usp=sharing See you all there! :) Cheers, ~Hari and Yangfan

BCCR Monday Seminar: "Vertical carbon export during an under-ice phytoplankton bloom in the Chukchi Sea".

The last BCCR Monday Seminar of the year will be given next Monday (December 15th) by Robert Pickart from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. He will present his work on "Vertical carbon export during an under-ice phytoplankton bloom in the Chukchi Sea". Abstract In order to quantify pelagic-benthic coupling on high-latitude shelves it is imperative to identify the different physical mechanisms by which phytoplankton are exported to the sediments. In June-July 2023, a field program documented the evolution of an under-ice phytoplankton bloom on the northeast Chukchi shelf. Here we use in-situ data from the cruise, a simple numerical model, historical water column data, and ocean reanalysis fields to characterize the physical setting and describe the dynamically-driven vertical export of chlorophyll associated with the bloom.
