🌏 Better models = better climate predictions.
A new paper led by ACEAS PhD researcher Claire Yung (ANU) shows how a refined equation used in ocean models can significantly improve the accuracy of Antarctic ice shelf melt predictions.

QGIS GeoAI Plugin v0.5.0 is out!
I just released v0.5.0 of the QGIS GeoAI Plugin, bringing interactive image segmentation powered by DeepForest (deepforest.readthedocs.io) to your desktop GIS workflow.
Introducing HiRO-ACE: an AI framework that makes highly detailed climate simulations dramatically more accessible. It generates decades of high-resolution precipitation data for any region in a day on a single GPU—no supercomputing cluster required. 🧵
Penguins (family Spheniscidae): These are a group of aquatic flightless birds of the order Sphenisciformes. They live almost exclusively in the Southern Hemisphere: only one species, the Galápagos penguin, is found north of the Equator.🐧

Pretty cool framework 🤠! I had to tweak some files to make it work after building the image and running the docker container. Happy to share :) We are testing on sparse ecosystems in Australia 🦘
YESSS! After a year of hard work at ForestryAI@NIBIO, #ForestFormer3D is out 🥳!
Our new #SOTA transformer model 🔥 tackles tough 3D forest scenes with semantic + instance segmentation — all in one! 🌳🤖 Works across LiDAR sources (ground/airborne) 🚀

An Aurora Framed
I planned for this shot to have a nice wee shape, with dark skies across the top. The trouble with Aurora though, they don't listen! So much bigger and more intense than expected!

Happy Antarctica Day! 💙
1 December is the anniversary of the signing of the Antarctic Treaty in 1959.
Australia was one of 12 original signatories to the Treaty, which established #Antarctica as a "natural reserve, devoted to peace and science".
