Leave No One Behind: Spatial AI Enabled Settlement Mapping to Enhance WASH Access for Vulnerable Populations

This project, funded by Google's AI for Social Good program aims to advance AI techniques to map vulnerable populations from satellite imagery in Africa to support intelligent and timely delivery of subsidies and resources of water supply, sanitation and hygiene (WASH).

Collaborative Research: EarthCube Capabilities: ICESpark: An Open-Source Big Data Platform for Science Discoveries in the New Arctic and Beyond

The Arctic climate system is undergoing rapid change with rising air and sea surface temperatures, accompanied by declines in the Greenland Ice Sheet, Arctic glaciers, sea ice, permafrost and snow cover on land. Increases in global air temperatures and ice-sheet mass loss are driving sea level rise around the globe. As the Arctic thaws, maritime and commercial activities in the region are expanding, presenting new opportunities as well as societal and cultural challenges.
