We’ve all been there. Our model results don’t match the data. But what’s the problem? "TALKS: A systematic framework for resolving model-data discrepancies" now published in Environmental Modelling & Software. authors.elsevier.com/c/1gplP… @mariapazvilas @bjrobson @FerrerMestres

New paper by my student, Chinenye Ani. N fixation is a big source of N to the GBR. Needs to be measured. And does this mean we have been under-estimating the importance of terrestrial P and Fe? sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

When the data and model don't match, which is wrong... the model... or the data? Resolving model-data discrepancies is tackled in new preprint by @mariapazvilas w/Felix Egger,Holger Maier @bjrobson @FerrerMestres Lachlan Stewart,Paul Maxwell,Kate O'Brien papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.…

I currently have a position open to work with me at AIMS as an "operational modeller and analyst": aims.gov.au/about/careers-ai… We also have a few other great modelling and data science jobs open right now, and these are all really exciting opportunities: aims.gov.au/about/careers-ai…

I’m very excited on behalf of my almost graduate PhD student, @TessCanto who is about to start a new job as a remote sensing scientist at @CSIRO!

Another great talk from Kevin Flynn… we need to think harder about the β€œtraits” in our models. Which are real traits that can evolve, which are meta-traits, and which emerge from others? #AMEMR21 Suggests that max growth rate is not a trade-off but optimised by evolution.
Suzana Leles is putting Per Hansen’s findings re mixotrophy into modelling practice in ERSEM. Very interesting to see the functional implications starting to emerge! #AMEMR21
Lots to think about in Ralf Steuer’s #AMEMR21 talk. Some of the traditional functional responses such as nutrient limitation curves are emergent properties of bioenergetic resource allocation and can be predicted using resource allocation models.
Fantastic start to #AMEMR21 with a great keynote on mixotrophy by Per Juel Hansen. Almost all our current biogeochemical models ignore this and it might make a huge difference, functionally.
I’m attending marine modelling conference #AMEMR21 virtually! The program looks fantastic and the first keynote has just started at 9pm my time. Running until 3am. It’s going going to be a long week of shift work, but totally worth it! I’m learning already!
