Fighting Fires From Space in Record Time: How AI Could Prevent a Repeat of Australia’s Devastating Wildfires
Australian scientists are getting closer to detecting bushfires in record time, thanks to cube satellites with onboard AI now able to detect fires from space 500 times faster than traditional on-ground processing of imagery.
Exploring Three Frontiers in Marine Biomass and Blue Carbon Capture
A new study offers first-time insights into three emerging climate innovations to safeguard or increase the carbon naturally captured by ocean and coastal ecosystems: rapid interventions to save the Great Barrier Reef, satellite-tracked kelp beds in the deep ocean, and seagrass nurseries in the United Kingdom.
Arctic Melting Heavily Influenced by Little-Studied Meteorological Phenomena, Find Scientists Led by UMass Amherst
A team of scientists led by François Lapointe, a research associate at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, has combined paleoclimatic data from the last 2,000 years with powerful computer modeling and in-the-field research on lake sediments and tree rings to show that an understudied phenomenon, known as atmospheric blocking, has long influenced temperature swings in the Arctic.
Mapping Lava Flows with Groundbreaking Field Instrument
Millions of people live near active volcanoes that are constantly monitored for signs of an impending eruption.
Summer Droughts in Northern Hemisphere Increasingly Likely as Seasonal Streamflows Change
Declining snowfall is changing the seasonal patterns of streamflow throughout the Northern hemisphere boosting chances of water shortages in the summer, scientists have found.
