SUMMARY:Fish Tales: Stories about Modernizing Oceanographic and Fisheries Data Collection
DESCRIPTION:Maine’s ocean and fisheries industries play a vital role in the state’s economy and way of life — but the impact of the data they generate can range far beyond just the traditional uses. \nFrom tracking extreme weather events to monitoring local fish populations and detecting long-term temperature trends\, ocean data is a powerful tool for understanding and responding to environmental changes. \nWith a growing variety and abudance of oceanic data\, it’s important to discuss how that data is best used to bring innovation and climate resilience to Maine. Join us May 9 at 12:00 pm for a conversation with New England Marine Monitoring and Ocean Data Network about data collection and how technology and climate change are impacting the type of data collected. \nThe ClimateTech Speaker Series is a joint initiative between the ClimateTech Incubator at Northeastern University’s Roux Institute and E2Tech and is sponsored by the Maine Governor’s Energy Office.  This program is part of an ongoing speaker series focused on AI\, climate\, and energy.

SUMMARY:What's Next for Science: Geophysics and Climate Data
DESCRIPTION:Join the Roux’s ClimateTech Incubator and E2Tech for a “mini AGU” conference here at the Roux! Several of our ClimateTech Incubator members and researchers from our AI for Climate & Sustainability group are headed to the AGU (American Geophysical Union) annual meeting\, the largest gathering of Earth and space scientists\, which convenes 25\,000+ attendees from 100+ countries. Before they head to D.C. for the official conference\, we’re giving you a look at all the amazing work that’s being done here at the Roux. We’ll have several oral presentations and then time for networking and browsing the team’s poster presentations.
