I'm a research scientist looking at data-driven/ML ocean models. Recent promotion to Dr! Parent to two adorable small humans. No idea what free-time is anymore... but I used to enjoy baking and reading, and one day will return to these hobbies!
Registration for the Ocean Predict AI task team workshop closes tomorrow! The agenda and registration link are available at oceanpredict.org/events/ai-tt.... We'd love to see you there in person, but talks will be streamed so do also register if you want to attend remotely.
We've set up a community mailing list for the OceanPredict AI task team. If you're interested in machine learning & ocean prediction, and want to find out more about our upcoming events & seminars etc, put in a request at oceanpredict.org/contact/cont... asking to be added to the AI-TT mailing list.

We're finalising the agenda to share next week -- its full of interesting talks & posters. Its shaping up to be a great event.
One week left to submit abstracts to our #EGU2026 session Machine Learning for Ocean Sciences. We'd love to hear from you!

We've extended the abstract deadline for the first Ocean Predict AI task team workshop - new deadline January 2nd. We'd love to hear from people working on ML and oceans, oceanpredict.org/events/ai-tt...

It's about time we start organizing the Liege Colloquium for 2026! Submesocale Processes in the ocean will be the topic, a revisit of the Colloquium of 2016. 10 years of advances!
I'll try to document here the journey towards organizing such an event, maybe there's interest? #LiegeOcean26 🌊🧪
A fabulous day of talks! Now time for posters, we're in x4, 51-81.
At 10:45 we have invited speaker Julie Deshayes presenting on "ocean models for climate applications: progress expected from machine learning" (room -2.41/42)
Our session is today, machine learning for ocean science, in -2.41&42. Starting at 8:30. Some great talks lined up!
Great to be in Vienna for #EGU2025, presenting this afternoon on data driven ocean modelling. Lovely to already bump into lots of friendly faces over morning posters, looking forward to the rest of the week!
Remember that this Friday 31 January is the deadline for the Liège Colloquium abstract submission!! 🌊🧪
Topic: Marine CDR emerging views and challenges
Date: 26-30 May 2025
Abstract deadline: 31 January 2025

And, there's a challenge in how ML models deal with 'missing data', especially when it's land in an ocean model -- these points have impact on the dynamics even though they are not themselves modeled. Maybe new ML techniques built specifically for geosciences are needed...?
This highlights the importance of robust assessment of ML models to catch systematic bias. ML models are optimised to give good average RMSE, but the way we use these models is so much broader, so our assessment needs to be broad too. There's an inherent optimism-use dichotomy in ML models.
In amongst all the chaos of early January and a return to reality, this paper from my PhD got published!
We show that a UNet trained to emulate an idealised ocean configuration works brilliantly overall, but very badly near land....
Hello, add me please!!
5 days till #EGU abstract submission deadline. I'm convening Machine Learning for Ocean Sciences, with @aida-alvera.bsky.social @brajard.bsky.social @redouanelg.bsky.social. Very excited to have solicited speaker Julie Deshayes. Send us your abstracts meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/sessio...
In this last session, we are honored to have Julie Deshayes as solicited speaker.

It's been great to see posts about #AGU24 this week. If, like me, you feel you've missed out, there's still time to submit an abstract for #EGU25 in Vienna at the end of April.
We're running a session on machine learning for ocean science, send us an abstract if you're working in this area.
Please can you add me!
Hi, I've just joined bluesky, and would love to be added to this list. Thanks for curating it!
Excited to be convening the Machine Learning for Ocean Sciences session at #EGU2025. If you're working on anything related, please consider submitting an abstract for our session.

And I'm now here too!!
