Check out our new blog on how EEO theory predicts how plant functional traits vary with wet and dry environments by Zhang Huanyuan research.reading.ac.uk/lemontree/test… Imma Oliveras Menor

In most of the world day-to-day weather variations are still much larger than long-term global warming. As a result, both daily record highs and daily record lows remain common. However as the world warms, new daily record highs consistently far outnumber new daily record lows.

What are climate storylines and why do they matter? Gerrit Versteeg, Junior Research Engineer at BSC-CNS, explained us how these plausible scenarios help tackle uncertainty, improve decisions and avoid false precision. Read the full interview here 👉 expect-project.eu/news/climate-s…

This map splits California into four areas of equal population. If you can only think of San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego when you think about California, this map has nothing to teach you 😉

I will be hiring a PhD student for Fall 2026 to perform experimental research related to prebiotic chemistry and chemical weathering on early Mars. Please reach out if you are interested!

Who invented backpropagation (BP)? Its modern version (also called the reverse mode of automatic differentiation) was first published in 1970 by Finnish master student Seppo Linnainmaa. A precursor of BP was published by Henry J. Kelley in 1960. The first NN-specific application

2025 has seen the second warmest first half of the year on record after 2024 – and is on track to be the second or third warmest year since records began in 1850. My latest State of the Climate report over at Carbon Brief: carbonbrief.org/state-of-the-c…

Introducing a new way to see our planet! 🌍 🛰️ Using Google DeepMind’s new geospatial AI model, AlphaEarth Foundations, we’re making satellite data more analysis-ready, packing a year of info into each pixel. bit.ly/3GZqK2j #EarthEngine #AIforGood

Who invented convolutional neural networks (CNNs)? 1969: Fukushima had CNN-relevant ReLUs [2]. 1979: Fukushima had the basic CNN architecture with convolution layers and downsampling layers [1]. Compute was 100 x more costly than in 1989, and a billion x more costly than

July 2025 was the third warmest July on record in the ERA5 dataset at 1.25C above preindustrial levels, though it was notably down from the prior records set in 2023 and 2024.

Here's a fact for you: Today is set to be one of the shortest days on record! Dr James O’Donoghue (Dr James O'Donoghue) from Reading Meteorology explains why #Earth is spinning faster today (5 Aug) and how it will affects everything from GPS to climate science. Read up: rdg.ac/4fkw5xH

Something we discovered by accident: what happens if we start Genie 3 from a video and a completely unrelated prompt? Turns out the model really, really wants to make it work, to the point where it emulates itself. The prompt in this one is about a trex on a tropical island.

We just got back from the Kamera movie theater in #Bielefeld where we saw Prima Donna or Nothing. Hyejeong and I first met there by chance in the year 2000. #movies #BielefeldVisits #music
