Dr Peter Battaglia, Google DeepMind provided a presentation on the use of AI in medium range global weather forecasting. Peter Battaglia is a Research Scientist/Director at DeepMind. His work focuses on approaches for modelling and reasoning about complex systems, by combining richly structured knowledge with flexible learning algorithms. In this webinar, Peter presented his recent […]
Dr Sari Giering, NOC and Dr Robert Blackwell, CEFAS provided a joint overview of the role and opportunity of AI in oceanic plankton monitoring. Sari is a researcher at the National Oceanography Centre. Her research interests focus on how marine organisms influence the capacity of the ocean to store carbon. Her research combines shipboard measurements, […]
In our previous blog (https://digitalenvironment.org/the-nvidia-jetson-nano-first-look-and-setup) we explored setting up and running the amazing Jetson Nano Developer Kit from NVIDIA. This little unit is capable of about half a teraflop of floating point calculations using its Maxwell accelerated GPU processor – pretty impressive for a low cost unit. In this blog we were following the ‘Two […]
In this post, we describe the development of a further demonstrator for an exhibition we are planning using a Raspberry Pi. The Digital Environment team are planning to be in support of NERC in attending the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) annual conference and exhibition in Seattle, USA in February 2020, and are making […]
