Bacteria: Sex and Death

Dr Michiel Vos is a senior lecturer in Evolutionary Microbiology based at the European Centre for Environment & Human Health (ECEHH) and ESI. His interests range from fundamental processes shaping the evolutionary diversification of bacteria, specifically though Horizontal Gene Transfer (HGT), to more applied questions relating to the virulence and antibiotic resistance of opportunistic pathogens in the environment. His presentation will cover both areas of research, from ‘bacterial sex’ (HGT) to the ecology of bacterial pathogens. Full details

Machine Learning for Earth Observation with the Environmental Intelligence Network

Recent years have witnessed a dramatic increase in the acquisition of remote sensing observations from satellite, aircraft and drone-based sensors, and in-situ devices. Technological advances have led to improvements in measurement resolution and precision, which is shifting the paradigm of Earth observation from data scarcity to data abundance. While these data have enormous potential for helping us achieve a range of United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, identifying the optimal approaches for handling and analysing these large datasets remains a challenge for both academia and industry. Recent breakthroughs in AI/ML offers promising solutions to these challenges, including automated identification and extraction of key observations, predicting future trends, identifying key environment factors, and dealing with noisy signals under uncertainties..
