I'm a climate scientist. I've just spent the last 6 years working in physical climate risk assessment, and now I'm heading back into academia to study how to optimise climate risk assessment.

Also the previous versions are still publicly accessible (by clicking the edited date). npub1vnmfkt2xlr5w5ynqs8rvg63jz8ck3kcchnvpc7kv84ft9ff4alms2x3y0t ned haughton Floods in Australia be like: #ManningFloods #floods #NSW #Australia #spiders https://fediscience.org/system/media_attachments/files/114/555/575/343/475/271/original/6150c15346ef7b10.png npub1vnmfkt2xlr5w5ynqs8rvg63jz8ck3kcchnvpc7kv84ft9ff4alms2x3y0t ned haughton Manning valley flood: - Old Killawarra bridge on Gloucester road, - new bridge next to it, during construction, and - the high water yesterday... Someone on FB says it's 24m. Luckily it's only that high there because it's hilly farm land, and that's a pinch point, the houses are all on the hills around. But still kinda crazy. I remember being blown away at how high that bridge was when I drove over it last. There's gonna be a looong recovery in the Manning this winter. #ManningFloods #ManningValley #NSW #NSWFloods #Australia https://fediscience.org/system/media_attachments/files/114/554/591/670/595/515/original/46104316db395844.png https://fediscience.org/system/media_attachments/files/114/554/616/064/695/489/original/fcbe24bb83a1a188.png https://fediscience.org/system/media_attachments/files/114/554/616/859/404/550/original/e689286908101ee8.png npub1vnmfkt2xlr5w5ynqs8rvg63jz8ck3kcchnvpc7kv84ft9ff4alms2x3y0t ned haughton @nprofile…cgs9 instructions unclear, spelling it "dicks" from now on. npub1vnmfkt2xlr5w5ynqs8rvg63jz8ck3kcchnvpc7kv84ft9ff4alms2x3y0t ned haughton @nprofile…23jl the funny thing about this one is that it's aimed at explaining things (financial risk) to climate scientists... I suspect there are not many prior examples 😅 Thank you for the offer! If you're particularly interested in the area, a chat might be cool, but I do have a few other scicomms people to talk to :) npub1vnmfkt2xlr5w5ynqs8rvg63jz8ck3kcchnvpc7kv84ft9ff4alms2x3y0t ned haughton @nprofile…65df I don't love the feeling of my skin crawling though npub1vnmfkt2xlr5w5ynqs8rvg63jz8ck3kcchnvpc7kv84ft9ff4alms2x3y0t ned haughton @nprofile…23jl awesome! Got any tips? 😁 Frameworks/approaches would be super useful npub1vnmfkt2xlr5w5ynqs8rvg63jz8ck3kcchnvpc7kv84ft9ff4alms2x3y0t ned haughton Um.. How does one take an 80 page scientific report and turn it into something people will actually read? Asking for a friend #science #scicomm #sciencecommunications npub1vnmfkt2xlr5w5ynqs8rvg63jz8ck3kcchnvpc7kv84ft9ff4alms2x3y0t ned haughton What is the point of these stupid #ai feed bots that just boost posts, but which no one follows? @nprofile…v3cq @nprofile…dhdx @nprofile…xvsq @nprofile…6yn7 npub1vnmfkt2xlr5w5ynqs8rvg63jz8ck3kcchnvpc7kv84ft9ff4alms2x3y0t ned haughton If: - Calculators delegated our capacity for arithmetic to machines - The camera delegated our capacity for visual memory to machines - The tape recorder delegated our capacity for auditory memory .. - Google and wikipedia delegated our capacity to remember facts .. Then what are LLMs doing? And if each of those delegations made space for other types of mental load, what are we making space for this time? (This is a thought experiment, I have no evidence that any of the above actually happened). #ai #llm #cognitiveScience npub1vnmfkt2xlr5w5ynqs8rvg63jz8ck3kcchnvpc7kv84ft9ff4alms2x3y0t ned haughton @nprofile…xm42 @nprofile…uc38 Pretty crazy that the humans don't actually seem to do it any faster in a group. Does anyone know how much signalling is happening between the ants? The comment about emergence kind of makes me wonder if communication is inversely proportional to self-organising emergence in some contexts.. #ants #complexity #emergence npub1vnmfkt2xlr5w5ynqs8rvg63jz8ck3kcchnvpc7kv84ft9ff4alms2x3y0t ned haughton Bahaha, I just realised the red box I'm seeing around lots of images is custom CSS for shaming people who don't add alt-text to their images. Mildly annoying, but worth it. Tidy play, FediScience @nprofile…y5js! Other instances should pick up this practice. https://fediscience.org/custom.css #mastodon #altText #accessibility
