The climatic ocean wave spectrum serves as a pivotal tool in comprehending the long-term characteristics and variations of wave patterns across different regions of the world's oceans. The presentation explores the methodologies employed to derive wave spectra from observational data. Basically, consists of a statistical approach that provides a quantitative understanding of the variability and extremes of wave conditions. In essence, an ocean wave spectrum is a representation of the distribution of energy among different wave frequencies and wavelengths. So, engineers rely on this valuable information to mitigate risks and design solutions that can withstand the dynamic forces of ocean waves. However, it is necessary to present such information in a robust and practical mode to better comprehend the variations. In this way, a robust and resistant approach will be presented to define such variabilities, thus reducing uncertainties and representing the climatic wave spectrum in a compact and informative way.

Late Lunch Talk by Francesco Giannelli

Want to develop health care solutions that balances the use of technology and human contact?

By Dr. Oto Kohulak

Tor Ole Bigton Odden: 

Over the last year and a half, generative AI tools like ChatGPT have gone from niche research projects in the field of Natural Language Processing to tools that have upended whole sectors like education, software development, social science, and more.

This rapid development is partially due to the fact that these tools have, through gradual updates, developed capabilities that could not have been predicted in November 2022, like the ability to reason spatially, mathematically, and visually. Many users reasonably wonder how, and more importantly why, they work.

Want to work on calm tech solutions that gives us the benefits of technology without intruding our lives?

Welcome to our GEOHYD Lunch Seminar Friday 8th of March @ 12:15 in Aud. 1, Geology building or via videolink using Zoom. The seminar is held by Inger Bij de Vaate (UiO).

Future robots need to be robust and adaptable, and new design approaches are needed for new production methods. I will talk about my research in using evolutionary algorithms and biologically inspired methods with the aim of having more intelligent, robust, and adaptive behavior in robots. I will give a short introduction to some of the algorithms and show how we apply them in our robotic platforms for exploring automatic design and adaptation.

Writing a short pitch is often the best start to any kind of science communication. To help you get on with this, we aim this workshop at defining your message, goal and target audience. But we will also cover some ways to formulate your message clearly and explain why this is so important. This workshop helps you to communicate with your peers, but also with subsidy organizations, policy makers or a wider audience. At the end of the workshop, you’ll have a short pitch about your research.

Under REAL undervisning i januar opplevde vi at mange hadde synspunkter og et ønske om å snakke mer om hvordan vi kan og bør bruke generativ kunstig intelligens på MN. Vi inviterer til en REAL prat om bruk av GPT UiO i undervisningen.
