AI 4 wildfires, Seagrass, Urban Forest, Amazon: Lightning Talk Climate Mitigation | Geo4Good'23

👉 The slide deck for this talk → https://docs.google.com/presentation/... 🛰️ More about the 2023 Geo for Good Summit → https://g.co/earth/geoforgood23 ❤️🌍 DESCRIPTION This illuminating presentation showcases 10 organizations working on climate change mitigation using AI, satellite imagery, and Google Earth Engine. From demonstrating how we can detect, monitor, and measure the impact of wildfires with unprecedented speed and accuracy to exploring how marine plants are pivotal in carbon sequestration, urban forestation, to exploring carbon sinks, etc. Dive into the world of real-time analytics and see how these advancements are not just academic exercises but crucial tools for climate change. 💻 TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - Introduction to Environmental Monitoring 2:05 - Wildfire Monitoring with AI & Google Earth Engine 8:21 - Google Tools for Carbon Footprint Analysis 13:41 - Amazon Forest Carbon Accounting with GEE 14:16 - Deforestation Prediction Techniques 19:18 - Seagrass Mapping & Blue Carbon Strategies 24:47 - Satellite Optical Missions Performance Analysis 30:35 - Urban Reforestation: Tiny Forests in Schools 37:08 - Forest Carbon Credits & Remote Sensing 41:33 - Solar Mini-Grids Impact in Sub-Saharan Africa 46:44 - Urban Sustainability: GEE & Delve Integration 51:03 - Google Earth Engine Educational Resource 55:38 - Conclusion of Environmental Monitoring Session 🎙️ SPEAKERS: Yifang Ban, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, “AI & GEE-powered insights for wildfire monitoring and biomass loss/CO2 emission estimation” Atreyee Saha, Pune Knowledge Cluster, “How Google tools are used for accounting current carbon stock and developing a model to predict carbon sequestration potential for 2030 for the city of Pune, India” George Porto Ferreira, The University of British Columbia, “In off, I am doing more alerts - information of forests, Individualized approach for metrics on deforestation occurrences in global monitoring alerts” Mar Roca Mora, CSIC, “Mapping the biggest blue carbon sequester organism using Sentinel-2 and Google Earth Engine” Avi Putri Pertiwi, German Aerospace Center (DLR), “Global Seagrass Watch: Cloud Computing for Seagrass Ecosystem Accounting” Mayumi Cursino de Moura Hirye, Lab.Quapá-USP, “Teamwork to plant tiny-forests in public schools” Takuto Shimode, MITSUI & CO., LTD., “Satellite data utilization in the creation of Japanese forest J-credits” Isaiah Lyons-Galante, University of Colorado Boulder, “Assessing Economic Impact of Mini-grid Development in Sub-Saharan Africa Using Remote Sensing” Brian Ho, Google, “How generative design features for more sustainable building outcomes became a match made in ….
