At the @esa.int #PISCO and @snowpi.bsky.social hackathon last week, Anna, Kirk, and Tabea joined 30+ researchers from around the world to dig through gigabytes of #EO and climate model data to tackle some exciting polar questions ❄️ 🧊 Let's dig into a couple below👇

DTU Space team! Both Kirk and Tabea were mentors for two projects and Anna (in the middel) were a participant. Wanna know more about the project they did? Check out the following posts :)

Not all time was spend coding. Some evenings were also spend enjoying the nice settings. Here you see Kirk, Kristiina (DMI) and Tabea enjoying a nice sunset overlooking the water.

How do we collect data in some of the harshest environments on Earth? 🛰️ SnowPI will combine satellite data, monitoring records and new field campaigns across the Arctic and Antarctic. These data will help improve climate models and support more accurate projections of polar change. #HorizonEU

SnowPI @snowpi.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

Research findings can take years to influence adaptation planning. SnowPI is taking a new approach by advancing scientific discovery and societal application in parallel. While researchers improve our understanding of snow, others will translate this knowledge into practical info. #HorizonEU

SnowPI @snowpi.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

❄️ We know the polar regions are changing. But how will those changes play out locally? SnowPI will use storylines to explore plausible futures for the Arctic and Antarctic. Rather than predicting a single future, storylines examine realistic climate processes and their consequences. #HorizonEU

SnowPI @snowpi.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

❄️ SnowPI behind the science: deep learning! Some snow processes are too complex to accurately represent in climate models. SnowPI is exploring whether deep learning can emulate these processes, helping improve climate projections while reducing computational costs. #HorizonEU
