Earth system data sciences Prof. @UniLeipzig @RSC4Earth related to @UFZ_de @iDiv @SCADS.AI, worried about climate extremes, biodiversity, the human-environment nexus and the 🌎's future in general. Editor @EnvDataScience
You’ll work on spatiotemporal anomaly detection and use explainable AI to link impacts to weather, soil, and human land use—paving the way for better predictions.

One of 34 funded PhD topics at ScaDS.AI Dresden/Leipzig, spanning ML, time series, ethics, and more.

WHAT? YOU DON'T WANT TO USE IT IN JUPYTER? 😊 No worries! Just visit hashtag#Lexcube www.lexcube.org

This work was led by @soechting.bsky.social with support from Gerik Scheuermann, @dmlmont.bsky.social and myself. I am very proud of my strong team!!!

Introducing #Lexcube4Jupyter
An open-source tool for interactive 3D data cube visualization, seamlessly integrated into scientific workflows. It enables:
✅ Efficient, memory-aware handling of large datasets
✅ Direct integration into Python workflows (e.g., Jupyter Notebooks)
March 5, 2025 at 9:42 PM
We believe that interactive (!) visualisation is key to making high-dimensional Earth system data more accessible, interpretable, and actionable. With this you can achieve
✅ Real-time exploration of model outputs & residuals
✅ Quick data quality checks & anomaly detection

This is one outcome of the DeepExtremes project funded by @esa.int excellently guided by @Anca Anghelea! Thank you!

The idea of the paper in a nutshell was already presented by @dmlmont.bsky.social (2025) in Earth System Data Cubes: Avenues for advancing Earth system research. EnvDataSci, 3, e27

🌿 The dataset focuses on sampling areas impacted by climate extremes, across diverse vegetation types. By prioritizing compound heatwave and drought events, it provides a globally representative and reproducible resource for studying these phenomena!

💡 DeepExtremeCubes is a new database designed to address this gap. 📊 Key features of DeepExtremeCubes: 40,000 globally sampled mini data cubes (2.5 x 2.5 km) with Sentinel-2 L2A for vegetation monitoring, ERA5-Land variables, and ancillary data, including land cover and topography maps.
