A collaboration led by an Oregon State University College of Forestry researcher has used very high-resolution satellite imagery to develop a machine learning model that aims to improve climate scientists’ ability to estimate aboveground carbon stocks in the Amazon. Findings of the study, funded by NASA LCLUC, were published in the journal Carbon Balance and Management and the work was highlighted in the Oregon State University news.
The warming climate could drive India to use up its groundwater much more rapidly in the coming decades, according to projections published by LCLUC researchers in the journal Science Advances. India already pumps up more underground water than any other country, largely to irrigate staple crops like wheat, rice, and maize. But hotter temperatures are drying out fields and leaving less moisture to soak into the soil and replenish the aquifers below.
The European Space Agency (ESA) has launched the Green Transition Information Factory (GTIF) that allows users to interactively discover the underlying opportunities and complexities of transitioning to carbon neutrality by 2050 using the power of Earth Observation, cloud-computing and cutting-edge analytics.
The cloud-based integrated GTIF environment enables:
