@BenWilliamsSci
@UCL & @ZSLScience PhD student 🌊 #AI for #coralreefs 🪸With @TheFSBI, @MarsGlobal’s http://buildingcoral.com & @GoogleDeepMind 🧠
Excited, humbled and terrified to share I will be giving an upcoming @tedxlondon talk this January at @HackneyEmpire 🙌 Amongst an incredible lineup, I will be speaking on how #AI can be a force for good in the fight to protect coral reefs🪸 tedxlondon.com/tedxlondon-202…
'The world's reefs are dying a death by a thousand cuts from... overfishing, pollution & now climate change' Marine biologist & data scientist, @BenWilliamsSci, shares how underwater sound recording & AI is helping transform coral reef conservation. @MarsGlobal @OfficialZSL
[PROTOCOL] How to 3D-map Coral Reefs with just a few GoPros 🪸🎥 A simple, low-cost way of creating permanent high-res snapshots of coral reefs for divers using 3D photogrammetry. 🔵 We were recently mapping coral reefs in East Java and I was running a mini photogrammetry…
Try our 3D "Google Maps for Coral Reefs" prototype 2.1! New 3D Gaussian Splatting model 🌏🪸 🔵 Why? Coral reefs are so precious, beautiful, incredibly complex and threatened ecosystems. They are dying fast.. There’s a way to protect and restore them! A lot of amazing people are…
People literally throw bombs onto coral reefs to catch fish 💣 We want to help stop this 👇
‘Across the 6 months the team detected & verified over 4,600 incidents of bomb fishing from this one single recorder.’ 🪸 Marine biologist @BenWilliamsSci, shares how scientists & AI are listen to coral reefs to help protect them! @ucl @ZSLScience @shebahopegrows
Getting excited for this weekend with @tedxlondon 🙌
Our AMAZING lineup for TEDxLondon Festival Of Ideas @TinukeAwe & Clotilde Abe, @JodieMitchell_ , Sophie Morgan, André Anderson, @jolyonmaugham, @natmc, Sangeetha Iengar, @BenWilliamsSci, @MrNishKumar, @shehadaalaa , Hackney Empire Creative Futures, Kiana Hayeri, @adamjkucharski
Our new paper out today led by @EmmaFishGal check it out 👇
🚨NEW paper🚨 out TODAY - the 1st from the brilliant #PhD of @EmmaFishGal 👏🍾🥇 Field #experiment showing coral reef nightlife becomes more predatory with light #pollution @GlobalChangeBio doi.org/10.1111/gcb.70… w/ @SuzanneCMills @r_beldade @jules_schligler @DrSteveSimpson

This is the next big thing in reef science coming sooner or later, and I’m betting on sooner!! Thoroughly encourage anyone to click the link and take a look🔬Soon making high res 3D models of large scale reef sites will be standard for these habitats 🪸
Let's gooo!! 🌎 Try our 3D "Street View for Coral Reefs" prototype 2.0! 🪸 We did it! Today we've hit a new milestone! It's been a long journey, but we're one step closer.. We have a 50x times larger 3D Gaussian Splatting model now, covering over 1000 sq meters of corals. So…
Excited to be talking at this event on Friday! Come on over to @ucl’s @GrantMuseum in Bloomsbury for an epic evening of coral reef science and art 🪸
Last few spaces available! Join us on 25 October for an evening of poetry, music and marine science exploring coral reefs, their extraordinary biodiversity, and the threats they face. ucl.ac.uk/culture/whats-…
