Special thanks to Olyvon for producing this video.
💡 New Paper!
🌡️ How much of recent summer warming is circulation-driven?
Our new study shows that atmospheric circulation trends explain up to 50% of Europe’s summer warming — with strong but contrasting effects across the northern mid-latitudes.

💡 New Paper on global plant functional diversity 🌍🌿
Using remote sensing, biodiversity & trait databases, we map key plant traits worldwide at 1-km resolution — offering new insights into ecosystem functioning, biodiversity & resilience. 🛰️🌱

🌍 AI4PEX 2nd General Assembly in Brest, France!
The week combines scientific exchange, collaboration & hands-on sessions on CNNs, AI agents, Generative approaches & Uncertainty Quantification.
A highlight: dedicated discussions for ECRs on careers, funding & supervision.
💡 New Paper on physics-aware AI for #EarthObservation 🌍🤖
By combining physical models with symbolic regression & sparse ML, this work moves toward more interpretable and trustworthy emulators for atmospheric radiative transfer.

Are AI climate models really more efficient? 🤖🌍
Tom Beucler compares AI, hybrid & GPU-based models — and finds the advantage isn’t always clear-cut.

🎤 #EGU26 Spotlight
Some regions are “behind” or “ahead” in warming 🌡️
Dominik Schumacher shows: areas lagging today may see faster rises in extreme heat soon.

Fires, beetles… or management? 🌱
Thomas Pugh shows that harvest decisions may shape Europe’s forests more than disturbances.

3 days, 9 models, 1 goal: benchmarking mortality in #EarthSystemModels 🌍
From data & model overviews to hands-on coding sessions, we worked toward a shared framework, common metrics, and first results for a joint paper.
Great collaboration across teams & time zones! 🚀
✨ Huge thanks to all instructors & participants for making the ELLIS Winter School on AI for Earth System, Hazards & Climate Extremes so engaging and interactive!
👏 Special thanks to OroraTech, ESA Academy & ICEYE — your support enabled 10 participants to join.
Final day at the ELLIS Winter School on “AI for Earth System, Hazards & Climate Extremes.” 🎉
Group challenge presentations, keynote reflections and well-deserved awards marked the conclusion of an intense week of collaboration and learning.
Thanks to everyone who made it happen!
Day 4 of the ELLIS Winter School on “AI for Earth System, Hazards & Climate Extremes” kept the momentum going. 🔬
