Climate AI Nordics

Nordic network for collaborations around tackling climate change using AI and machine learning.

Several climate related workshops at ECCV 2026

Climate-related workshops at ECCV 2026

The complete lineup of 93 workshops for the European Conference on Computer Vision (ECCV 2026) in Malmö, Sweden has been officially announced. Among a massive roster covering foundational machine learning, generative AI, and robotics, there is a clear and inspiring momentum growing around using computer vision to address our planet’s most pressing climate and conservation issues.

Out of the total lineup, five standout workshops focus directly on environmental sustainability: two dedicated exclusively to Earth Observation (EO) and three dedicated to climate change and ecology.

We are incredibly excited to announce that Climate AI Nordics is organizing AICC2: The 2nd AI for Climate and Conservation Workshop, which has been selected as a prominent full-day event!

Spotlighting Climate & Conservation at ECCV

If you are attending ECCV in Malmö this September, these five workshops features interesting applications of computer vision for planetary health, ecology, and remote sensing.

Our feature event: AI for climate and conservation (AICC2)

  • Duration: Full-day
  • Main organizer: Aleksis Pirinen
  • Submission deadline: August 7th
  • Learn More: AICC2 ECCV 2026 Website

Building on the success of our inaugural track, AICC2 brings together researchers from machine learning, climate science, and ecology. This full-day workshop will dive into how advanced vision systems can monitor biodiversity loss, model climate risk, and optimize mitigation strategies. We invite the global community to join us in Malmö to push the boundaries of what climate AI can achieve.

Complementary climate & ecology tracks

Alongside AICC2, two other crucial half-day and full-day workshops focus heavily on biodiversity and natural resources:

  • 2nd Workshop on Marine Vision (Full-day) Main organizer: Malte Pedersen Highlighting the critical need for automated computer vision solutions to overcome the unique physical and visual challenges of underwater imaging, enabling researchers to efficiently monitor and protect rapidly degrading marine ecosystems. Website: https://vap.aau.dk/marinevision/
  • CVNH – Computer vision for natural heritage (Half-day)
    Main organizer: Juan Miguel Valverde
    Focusing on the preservation, documentation, and automated monitoring of vulnerable natural landmarks and ecosystem heritages worldwide. Website: https://computer-vision-for-natural-heritage.github.io/
  • 3rd workshop on computer vision for ecology (Full-day)
    Main organizer: Julia Chae
    An vital forum focused on species identification, animal tracking, and behavioral analysis in the wild to support ecological research and anti-poaching efforts. Website: https://cv4e-workshop.github.io/

Earth observation-centric workshops

For those working with satellite imagery and geospatial data streams, two dedicated workshops cover the infrastructure and models needed to sense planetary changes at scale:

  • TerraBytes II: Towards global datasets and models for Earth observation (Full-day)
    Main organizer: Mikolaj Czerkawski
    Addressing the challenges of scaling up vision models to ingest, process, and accurately interpret global-scale satellite and remote sensing datasets. Website: https://terrabytes-workshop.github.io/
  • GAIA 2026: Geospatial AI and foundation models (Half-day)
    Main organizer: Danda Paudel
    Exploring how modern foundation models can be adapted to spatial, geographic, and temporal dimensions for land-use mapping and environmental prediction.

EarthShift: A new testbed for benchmarking robustnessGeospatial Foundation Models to real-world distribution shifts

Event date:

Webinar with Kelsey Doerksen, University of Cape Town and Arizona State University. Geospatial Foundation Models claim to offer powerful solutions to simplify and accelerate real-world problems, enabling the capabilities to monitor, analyze, and predict changes on our planet. Current Earth Observation benchmarks to quantify the performance of these models focus on measuring performance on diverse tasks and applications, typically measuring generalization in-distribution. However, when models are deployed, they must generalize to many out-of-distribution scenarios, such as new time periods, geographies, and sensors; and in many contexts, these models are brittle. We introduce EarthShift: the first public testbed for benchmarking robustness across multiple realistic distribution shifts encountered in remote sensing. EarthShift enables users to measure distributional robustness by comparing performance in- and out-of-distribution using datasets from paired data sources, temporal windows, geographic locations, and sensors. EarthShift provides a testbed to guide future work to create foundation models that are robust and reliable in real-world applications.

Postdoctoral Researcher: Satellite Remote Sensing of Carbon Cycle Sources and Sinks

Published:

The Finnish Meteorological Institute is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to analyze and exploit satellite remote sensing datasets, including CO₂ and SIF observations, using AI methods for research on the carbon cycle, greenhouse gas emissions, and carbon sinks. This role involves developing advanced methods for data interpretation and source-sink estimation.
