2. Towards trustworthy satellite-based precipitation products: coupling explainable machine learning and uncertainty quantification methods (Panagiotis, Kossieris)
3. REWRITE project - Rewilding and restoration of intertidal sediment ecosystems for carbon sequestration, climate adaptation and biodiversity support (Vona Meleder)
4. Explainable Artificial Intelligence for Extreme Event Forecasting on Sentinel-2 (Pellicer-Valero, Oscar)
5. AI4DROUGHT: Seasonal Prediction of Droughts from large and local scale (Suso Pena)
6. EULIAA: European Lidar Array for Atmospheric Climate Monitoring (Gerd Baumgarten)
3:00-4:00 PM: Panel Discussion
1. Luca Brocca:
a. What are the challenges to be addressed for using high-resolution satellite observations for flood, drought and landslide monitoring and prediction?
b. How can ESA help advance science in this field? (Suggestions for future missions, procurements, community consultations and other events like this to be run more frequently?)
2. Jakob Zscheischler:
a. (supposedly) your presentation highlighted the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in improving our understanding and detection of compound and cascading extreme events. Could you elaborate on how different scientific disciplines can synergize within an AI framework to enhance predictive accuracy and reliability, and perhaps provide an example of how this has been successfully implemented in a real-world scenario?
b. How can ESA help advance science in this field? ...
3. Anca Anghelea:
a. What does ESA do to enable science initiatives? Future missions
