Visual Digital Twins of Forests
มุมมอง 35วันที่ผ่านมา
Abstract: Methods developed by the computer graphics community allow for the photorealistic rendering of complex geometry. In this talk we explore how such mathematical procedures can be leveraged to describe the growth, biomechanics, and combustion of trees at a detailed spatial level. These models facilitate a realistic 3D visualization of these processes at forest scale which allows explorin...

Real-time Wildlife Monitoring
มุมมอง 313 หลายเดือนก่อน
Abstract: This research introduces an AI-based alert system to reduce human-wildlife conflicts in the Romanian Carpathian Mountains. Globally, conflicts between people and wildlife are rising due to population growth, shifting land use patterns and climate change. In Romania, mountain communities are impacted by bears and wild boars, which damage livestock, crops and property. These conflicts c...
Grid-friendly Energy Community Coordination for Reducing Grid Reinforcement Needs
มุมมอง 493 หลายเดือนก่อน
Abstract: This talk discusses how market mechanisms and automated trading strategies can be used to control the flexible consumption and generation units of the community members in such a way that they make the best possible use of existing distribution networks and support the network operator in avoiding and eliminating congestion situations. This ultimately helps avoiding grid reinforcement...

Title: Annual Monitoring of Forest AGB over a Period of 10 years Using SSL-derived Representations from Optical Time Series Abstract: I recap the functioning of our fully self-supervised learning pipeline based on the spectral-temporal Barlow Twins. The SSL approach generates highly informative representations at 10m spatial resolution from cloud-corrupted optical time series. The resulting rep...
HyWay: Enabling Mingling in the Hybrid World
มุมมอง 1303 หลายเดือนก่อน
We present HyWay, short for “Hybrid Hallway”, to enable mingling and informal interaction among in-person and remote users in semi-structured and unstructured hybrid settings. Key to the design of HyWay is bridging the awareness gap between physical and virtual users and providing the virtual users the same agency as physical users. We explain how HyWay achieves these goals with an agile, light...

An App for Tree Trunk Diameter Estimation from Coarse Optical Depth Maps
มุมมอง 404 หลายเดือนก่อน
Abstract: Trunk diameter is related to the overall health and level of carbon sequestration in a tree. Trunk diameter measurement, therefore, is a key task in both forest plot and urban settings. Unlike the traditional approach of manual measurement with a measuring tape or calipers, several recent approaches rely on sophisticated technologies such as LiDAR and time-of-flight cameras that provi...
Automated Fact-Checking of Climate Change Claims with Large Language Models
มุมมอง 1135 หลายเดือนก่อน
This talk introduces Climinator, a novel AI-based tool designed to automate the fact-checking of climate change claims. Utilizing an array of Large Language Models (LLMs) informed by authoritative sources like the IPCC reports and peer-reviewed scientific literature, Climinator employs an innovative Mediator-Advocate framework. This design allows Climinator to effectively synthesize varying sci...
Digital Participatory Tools for Rural Communities in India to Adapt to Climate Change
มุมมอง 955 หลายเดือนก่อน
With weather patterns becoming erratic, rural communities in India dependent upon agriculture, livestock, and forests for their sustenance face an intersecting crisis of environment, livelihood, and social justice. Navigating this crisis requires a multi-dimensional approach of sustainable natural resource management, done in an equitable manner to benefit the most marginalized populations, and...
Using AI to Accelerate Evidence Synthesis and Decision Support to Save Biodiversity
มุมมอง 235 หลายเดือนก่อน
Consider a planner laying a new train line through ecologically sensitive areas. They need to balance economic benefits with ecological damage and think through mitigations such as fencing, animal overpasses or habitat compensation areas, each of which have costs. To maximise benefits and reduce costs, such decisions must be informed by prior research knowledge. However, scientific evidence is ...
Transforming Your Understanding of Large Language Models: A Primer
มุมมอง 3206 หลายเดือนก่อน
This talk gives an introduction to Large Language Models for non-specialists, especially those who might be considering applying them to nature or climate projects. We will cover the recent history of language models and then deep dive on a modern transformer-based language model. We will look at tokenisation, training methods, preference alignment and the future trends in model architectures. ...
Mechanisms Against Climate Change
มุมมอง 296 หลายเดือนก่อน
Abstract: The problem of climate change is essentially about cooperation over a common resource. It is challenging because it is global, and countries are free to cooperate or decline. The good thing is that we know a lot about what properties of agreements make cooperation work. The bad thing is that our current approaches, such as the Paris Agreement, get almost all of these properties exactl...
Tracking Compound Heat and Humidity Impacts

Abstract: Compounds of high humidity and heat are deadly. With our changing climate an increasing proportion of the world’s land surface is being exposed to higher temperatures and humidity, with this rise being faster in populated areas. One metric to measure heat stress, a rise in body heat as the result of external environment and exertion is Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) the Internation...

    Smells like another fancy UN sponsored boondoggle. They got nothing. Sure, it might make things a bit more streamlined, but at the end of the day, centralized alternative energy won’t scale.

    The method for keeping humanity safe from every aspect of climate since humans began walking upright, is economic growth. All climate policies induce greater poverty. Poverty is vastly worse than warming will ever be.

    Antarctica has a average yearly temperature of minus 32 degree Celsius. How should there be significant melting? I know in east antarctica there are 100 undersea volcanos. But they are there hundred and thousands of years. Without any substantial change. So why do also Cambridge guys tell us lies? They always have said a friend to me.

    Let's put solar panels on every home, business and covered parking rooftop and switch to electric vehicles making nearly everything we do solar powered while completely decentralizing our power supply and empowering everyone as power generation owners. Solar power is CHEAPER and electric vehicles are soon to be CHEAPER to make and already are considerably CHEAPER to maintain and operate, especially if charged from your own solar power. A 3-5 year ROI (return on investment) for a solar array that will generate power for decades is a no-brainer and the panels can even be made locally too. #EndFossilFuels #EndNukes #SwitchToSolar #SwitchToElectric #GreenNewDeal #EmpowerEveryone #DEMEXIT #StillSandersPlatform #RepublicansAreNazis

    Science-denying American Republicans are so certain they're right and the science world is wrong that they're even fighting to deregulate everything to further accelerate our rate of burning fossil fuels and the pillaging of the planet for their limitless greed (fear). They're willing to bet the world and all of its inhabitants on their certainty (limitless greed). #FearAndGreedRule #EmpathyFreeGOP Every single American Republican policy puts fear and greed (fear) before people and planet. Fear (and the empathy and critical thought it kills) is what separates the right from the left. The fear at the root of ”Nationalism is an infantile disease. It is the measles of mankind.” -- Albert Einstein Liberals hate American Republicans because all of their policies put fear and greed (fear) before people and planet (including equality and empathy). American Republicans hate liberals for the exact same reasons, because they’re afraid we’ll get in the way of their fear and greed. #SwitchToSolar #SwitchToElectric #EndFossilFuels #OneEarth #GreenNewDeal #ScienceDeniers #GOP #GreedOverPeople/Planet #RepublicansAreNazis #BanAllInsurrectionists #DEMEXIT #StillSandersPlatform

    That's probably a very interesting talk, however, I'm really sorry but, the sound quality is incredibly awful. I tried following with automatic caption, but even then, I gave up after 6 minutes. Really disappointing.
