Just got back from an incredible experience at the EXCLAIM symposium “Is AI the Future of Weather and Climate Modeling?” at the @ethz.ch.

What an exciting collaboration!

Congratulations, @f-immorlano.bsky.social @gabrieleaccarino.bsky.social @stephanmandt.bsky.social @pierregentine.bsky.social + colleagues at CMCC Foundation, @columbiauniversity.bsky.social @ucirvine.bsky.social @dlr-spaceagency.bsky.social @dlr-en.bsky.social

I am so excited to share our latest research paper "Transferring climate change physical knowledge" published in @pnas.org! 🧵 1/4

www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

So delighted to share our new paper, my little Covid project brought to a whole new level by Francesco Immorlano www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/.... We demonstrate how future projections can be refined using transfer learning (fine tuning). This refines our estimates of global warming.

Our Dep. Dir. Tian Zheng connected w/Cali LEAPers @jlin404.com + @f-immorlano.bsky.social and other colleagues (Katherine Frields, Liran Peng, Yan Xia) while at an event near @ucirvine.bsky.social ... Just proves: science = more fun together! 💪

Excited to share some great collaboration on a new data assimilation framework with transformer encoding arxiv.org/pdf/2502.02884. Exciting times for data assimilation with ML

New postdoc position open at UCI to work at the intersection of machine learning and climate science, jointly between Stephan Mandt's group and my group.

More details and application information here: ics.uci.edu/~smyth/postd... Feel free to share.

Pictures from the recent UCI Social at @neuripsconf.bsky.social with a subset of students, faculty, guests. Looking forward to the next event at NeurIPS 2025 in San Diego!

We spy @f-immorlano.bsky.social + LEAP alum Sungduk Yu, who supported @juannat7.bsky.social @ #NeurIPS2024: "ChaosBench: A Multi-Channel, Physics-Based Benchmark for Subseasonal-to-Seasonal Climate Prediction."
