The sun sets over Vienna on the last day of #lps25 - a more relaxed day ending earlier than usual (and a bit less hot outside). Lots of cool science presented here over the last few days, with various new insights for my own research. See you at the next edition 3 years from now! ;)
June 27, 2025 at 7:05 PM
Sadly, it's the final day of @esa.int #LPS25 in Vienna. There are are still lots of interesting sessions to attend, including talks by @julietbiggs.bsky.social and Luke Bateson (@bgs.ac.uk) on using AI for monitoring natural hazards, @ednadualeh.bsky.social and Camilla Medici. Full schedule below:

Day 2 at #lps25: a busy poster session (with drinks and snacks provided..), a swim in the Donau between sessions, more natural hazard sessions, and to wrap up the day: a shared COMET and @cpom-uk.bsky.social dinner that took over half of a restaurant. See you tomorrow for more…!
