eXtreme events : Artificial Intelligence for Detection and Attribution
Seventeen European research institutes are joining forces with climate risk practitioners to better assess and predict the influence of climate change on extreme weather using novel artificial intelligence methods. This new EU-funded 4-year project, called “XAIDA”, started in September 2021.
In 2021, Geert Jan van Oldenborgh, one of the initiators of XAIDA, passed away. He also laid down the foundations of rapid attribution.

Read the paper: Generative networks for spatio-temporal gap filling of Sentinel-2 reflectances
« Earth observation from satellite sensors offers the possibility to monitor natural ecosystems by deriving spatially explicit and temporally resolved biogeophysical parameters. Optical remote sensing, however, suffers from missing data mainly due to the presence of clouds, sensor malfunctioning, and atmospheric conditions. This study proposes a novel deep learning architecture to address gap filling of satellite reflectances, more precisely the visible and near-infrared bands, and illustrates its performance at high-resolution Sentinel-2 data.

Teaching Material: Climate models help us plan sports events
XAIDA is collaborating with the PSTT (Primary Science Teaching Trusts) collaborators. PSTT produces some teaching material based on XAIDA work.
This work is based on the work leading on Paris 2024 Olympics simulations published by XAIDA scientists.
