Join us for the ninth episode of Bristol Data Stories, where we talk to Sam Gunner, a Senior Research Associate in the School of Civil Engineering at the University of Bristol. Sam’s research supports urban stakeholders to make better, more data-driven decisions, hoping to improve the real-world impact of academic research. In this episode, we discuss collecting pollution data via city sensors, accessing urban mobility data through e-scooter journeys, and Sam's previous work in industry. We also discuss systems thinking and the importance of applying this approach to real-World issues.

Bristol Data Stories Episode 7: Satellites, AI, and the Future of Emissions Monitoring with Elena Fillola Mayoral

Join us for the seventh episode of Bristol Data Stories, where we talk to Elena Fillola Mayoral, an engineer working with scientists to apply AI to the field of atmospheric chemistry. In this episode, Elena discusses how greenhouse emissions are monitored from towers across the globe and how the expansion of satellites now allows researchers to collect millions of data points every day. She also shares how AI can create atmospheric simulations at a fraction of the time, making these models more accessible.
