New research from the University of Copenhagen’s Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management has used an advanced algorithm that combines satellite imagery and artificial intelligence to closely examine tree coverage in areas outside of traditional forests, shedding light on the importance of these hidden trees.
Google is introducing a suite of sustainability-focused Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) that leverage artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities to offer developers real-time information on solar potential, air quality, and pollen levels.
The Allen Institute for AI, founded by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, has launched Satlas, a groundbreaking tool that combines generative AI with satellite imagery from the European Space Agency’s Sentinel-2 satellites.
Phytoplankton are responsible for producing the oxygen we breathe as well as soaking up the carbon we emit and feeding the fish we eat. They are a crucial part of ocean ecosystems and essential to life as we know it on Earth. NASA is launching a new satellite in early 2024 to study these aquatic …

A satellite built for NASA and the French space agency has been launched into low-Earth orbit to observe nearly all the water on the Earth’s surface. The mission is expected to last for three years.
Deforestation in the Amazon rose to record levels for the month of April, nearly doubling the area of forest removed in that month last year.
As the largest river basin on Earth, the Amazon is of great importance to the world’s climate and water resources.
The ESA and NASA have released the first globally harmonized assessment of above ground biomass. The Multi-Mission Algorithm and Analysis Platform (MAAP) provides seamless access to above ground biomass information from both ESA and NASA Earth observation data.
The Climate Change from Space Kit is an interactive PDF that explains the different variables that affect climate change and describes how ESA measures them from space.
After a successful trial run in May, a NASA campaign is deploying aircraft, a research vessel and several kinds of autonomous ocean robots to study small ocean whirlpools, eddies and currents.
