novel AI/machine learning algorithms and robotic systems for monitoring, conservation, and exploration of ocean ecosystems. These include topics in geospatial AI and core machine learning development for modeling of dynamical systems applied to topics in physical
and/or biogeochemical oceanography, global and regional marine ecology, multi-modal and data-driven representations for remote sensing and in-situ ocean sensors, and more. Students and postdocs will also be expected to participate in field work.</span></p>
