Past events and news

09/04/2026: Welcome to Clara Edmonds who is starting to work as a PhD Student at DTU (Denmark) within the IcyAlert project. She will work with generative AI models that can create high-resolution climate data based on low-resolution input, and support probabilistic ensemble initialization.

 

06/03/2026: Job announcement: RMI (Belgium) is offering a PhD student position that will contribute to the development of an early warning system for ice-free Arctic predictions and their climate impacts, as part of the IcyAlert project (application deadline: 3 April 2026).

 

29/01/2026: Seminar: Cesar Aybar (PhD student supervised by Prof. Gustau Camp-Valls at the Image Processing Laboratory, University of Valencia, Spain) gave an online talk on “TACO - Transparent Access to Cloud Optimized Datasets”, a new way to organize Earth observation data.

 

19/11/2025: Job announcement: DTU Compute (Denmark) is offering a PhD scholarship in cutting-edge machine learning methods for climate modelling, as part of the IcyAlert project (application deadline: 8 December 2025).
