FOREST CARBON remote sensing BRINGS a CARBON REVOLUTION 2024 was the year when remote sensing of carbon became both affordable and comparable. Planet has made their remote carbon evaluation apps available from Lens, (Upstream Tech) at 10c US per hectare. This means that for a relatively low investment, nature reserves and protected areas can be directly compared for their effectiveness in protecting and conserving carbon in the form of vegetation. We can build alternative routes to rewarding carbon conservation financially, cutting out the overblown and inefficient and potentially corrupt Voluntary Carbon Markets.

Serco Middle East has launched an Urban Twin Solution to help governments and organisations to address critical environmental challenges using the latest space-enabled environmental data. Launched with technology partner Murmuration and mobility data partner MICHELIN Mobility Intelligence, the holistic Urban Twin monitoring service will provide Serco clients with a complete 360-degree environmental overview, helping them to use the latest AI data-driven insights and analytics to fight climate change at a building, development, project, city or giga city level. Using state-of-the-art Earth observation satellite data and other geospatial data sources, companies and governments will be able to proactively put climate protection measures in place during the planning stage of their projects, or retrospectively look to minimise their environmental impact from existing assets. The new solution will enable companies and governments to monitor the environmental impact of their operation, via AI modelling; it will also enable prediction, through simulating the impact of decisions on different climate-based scenarios, such as dealing with the impacts of rising sea levels or monitoring air quality in congested environments. Furthermore, the data will also help support the conservation of biodiversity, as well as providing the insight to create more sustainable traffic networks.

🎥 New Video – Boulder Imaging! 🎥 In today's world, discussions about #AI often focus on its negative impacts or potential risks. However, this week, we're excited to highlight how AI is being used for good! I'm thrilled to share our latest video on Boulder Imaging and their groundbreaking use of AI for positive change. 🌟 Boulder Imaging, a leader in machine vision and AI technologies, is transforming industries with their innovative solutions! Boulder Imaging, based in #Boulder, Colorado, has been a leader in machine vision technology since 1995. One of their groundbreaking products, IdentiFlight, is a global, innovative solution designed to prevent bird collisions with wind turbines. The system integrates high-precision optical cameras with advanced artificial intelligence to detect and identify bird species in real-time. By accurately distinguishing between different bird species, particularly protected ones like eagles, IdentiFlight allows wind farm operators to take proactive measures to avoid collisions. This technology not only supports the goals of renewable energy companies but also aligns with regulatory requirements and environmental protection efforts, making it a crucial tool in the sustainable development of wind energy. Let's celebrate the advancements in AI and the incredible work of Boulder Imaging in making the world a better place!

Forest carbon monitoring gets an AI boost, reports Abhishyant Kidangoor. Forests have long been surveyed from above. Satellite data reveal where they stand and how they shrink or grow, while lidar—laser-based radar—has allowed scientists to map them in 3D, uncovering details that lie beyond human sight. Now, artificial intelligence is adding a new layer of insight. Earth-imaging company Planet has unveiled a Forest Carbon Monitoring tool that fuses its satellite imagery with lidar data. The tool can estimate carbon storage, tree height, and canopy cover in remote forests at a granular resolution of three meters. “It will help us understand aspects of the forest that might not be initially accessible to the naked eye,” says Andrew Zolli, Planet’s chief impact officer. Satellites track forest cover but not the carbon stored in biomass. Measuring this requires lidar, which calculates tree dimensions by measuring the time laser beams take to bounce off foliage. NASA’s GEDI mission, mounted on the International Space Station, has mapped swathes of forests, but coverage gaps persist. Planet’s tool aims to bridge these voids, training machine-learning models to infer carbon data in areas without lidar coverage. Initial findings from the tool have been striking. While deforestation ravages the Amazon, the northern reaches harbor untouched carbon reserves. “What really resonated with me is the understanding of where we have extant forest carbon stocks which we must absolutely protect,” says Zolli. The data also underpin Project Centinela, which supports conservation efforts in biodiversity hotspots like Tanzania’s Gombe Stream National Park. Meanwhile, carbon markets—often criticized for opacity—may gain credibility through applications of the tool argues Zolli: “The data gives a shared, common picture of what’s actually happening on the ground.” Planet’s innovation rests on decades of data, cutting-edge AI, and cloud computing. “We are the first generation that has had all three in place,” Zolli says, enabling swift, confident assessments of carbon across the globe. 📰 story: https://lnkd.in/gwRWf5Qf 📷: A view of carbon storage in forest and an area of fishbone deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon.
