- Sea level data confirms climate modeling projections were right | Projections of rising sea levels this century are on the money when tested against satellite and tide-gauge observations, scientists find. The finding does not bode well for sea level impacts over coming decades https://phys.org/news/2021-02-sea-climate.html 266 comments worldnews
- Antarctica's warm underbelly revealed: This is the best map yet produced of the warmth coming up from the rocks underneath the Antarctic ice sheet. This "geothermal heat flux" is key data required by scientists in order to model how the White Continent is going to react to climate change. http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-41972297 10 comments worldnews
- Decent videos from IBM that discuss coming technology and how Data Science should not be in a vacuum from the businesses they support. Data Scientist should work closely with the marketing contact to understand identified patterns then go back and adapt/update their algorithms. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/data-science-marketingbusiness-managers-joe-glines 3 comments statistics
