Beth O'Dwyer

PhD Student

​Beth O'Dwyer is a PhD researcher at the Energy Weather & AI Lab and the Department of Geoscience and Remote Sensing. Beth is part of the UrbanAIR project, where she works on estimating land surface temperatures in urban environments under climate change. Beth obtained her bachelor’s degree in Physics and Astrophysics from Trinity College Dublin, followed by a research master’s degree at Maynooth University and the Dublin Institute of Advanced Studies. Her master’s research focused on segmenting auroral radio emissions detected by the Cassini spacecraft during its 13-year mission at Saturn, providing new insight into the variability of Saturn’s magnetospheric processes. She then contributed to the AI2Peat project, where she developed machine learning approaches using Sentinel-2 satellite data to classify vegetation communities in Ireland’s peatlands and assess national peatland health.
