European Research Council (ERC) Synergy Grant “Understanding and Modelling the Earth System with Machine Learning (USMILE)”
- The renowned and prestigious ‘Synergy Grant’ from the European Research Council will support the work of an interdisciplinary team to combine machine learning with physical models of the atmosphere and land surface.
- The goal is to improve climate models and the analysis and interpretation of Earth system data.
- Focus: Climate research, atmospheric research, artificial intelligence
USMILE host institutions:
German Aerospace Center. The German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt, DLR) is the national aeronautics and space research centre of the Federal Republic of Germany. Its extensive research and development work in aeronautics, space, energy, transport, security, and digitalisation is integrated into national and international cooperative ventures. DLR is also responsible for the planning and implementation of Germany’s space activities on behalf of the federal government. DLR is also the umbrella organisation for one of Germany’s largest project management agencies.
Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry. The Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry, Jena, is part of the German Max Planck Society. Its mission is to investigate biogeochemical cycles (carbon, water, nutrients) from local to global scales with approaches including manipulation experiments, long-term observations and data- and theory-driven modelling approaches.
University of Valencia. The University of Valencia is a research and educational institution more than 500 years old, and one of the top universities for physics in Spain. The Image Processing Lab (IPL) is a multidisciplinary institute that gathers more than 60 faculty and researchers in Earth observation, image processing, vision science and machine learning. The lab has active collaborations with ESA, NASA and EUMETSAT for designing new sensor devices, measurement campaigns, and data-intensive processing chains. The IPL faculty educates the new generation of physicists, data scientists, remote sensing analysts, mathematicians and electrical engineers in various (under)graduate, master and doctoral programmes.
Columbia University’s School of Engineering and Applied Science. Columbia Engineering, based in New York City, is one of the top engineering schools in the U.S. and one of the oldest in the nation. Also known as The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science, the School expands knowledge and advances technology through the pioneering research of its more than 220 faculty, while educating undergraduate and graduate students in a collaborative environment to become leaders informed by a firm foundation in engineering. The School’s faculty are at the centre of the University’s cross-disciplinary research, contributing to the Data Science Institute, Earth Institute, Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute, Precision Medicine Initiative, and the Columbia Nano Initiative. Guided by its strategic vision, ‘Columbia Engineering for Humanity’, the School aims to translate ideas into innovations that foster a sustainable, healthy, secure, connected, and creative humanity.
