Down To Earth: A podcast for Geoscientists by Geoscientist

<p>When machine learning was first invented, the infrastructure for processing earth observation data was incredibly slow, often taking days or weeks to generate results. But recent breakthroughs in hardware and...

<p>We’ve heard repeatedly that reliable, validated training data is one of the most important, and also most challenging components of ensuring AI models provide accurate outputs. How are we overcoming this challenge...

<p>AI is a hot topic these days, but when it comes to geoscience, how is it actually being used? To answer this question, we speak to Dr. Caleb Robinson, Principal Research Scientist, Microsoft AI for Good Research Lab...

<p>Imagine a world where scientists can predict natural disasters before they strike, where we can monitor the health of our planet in real-time, and where we can uncover the secrets of Earth's hidden resources.</p>...

<p>From its role in sustaining and nurturing our bodies to its cultural and social significance, food is a key component of human life. It’s also in serious jeopardy due to climate change. In this episode, we speak with...

<p>According to the UNU Institute for Water, Environment and Health, water-related disasters (WRDs), including floods and droughts, account for 90% of natural disasters. These disasters result in significant loss of...

<p>What’s the difference between glaciers and sea ice and why do we need to be studying sea ice to better understand climate change? In this episode, we speak to two experts who study sea ice in the arctic and antarctic...

<p>As far back as 2014, Dr. Eric Rignot, specialist in glaciology, has been informing us that some of our glaciers are melting faster than we can save them. Yet, this knowledgeable and passionate scientist continues to...

<p>Methane is a dangerous gas has more than 80 times the warming power of carbon dioxide over a 20-year period. Methane is a major contributor to global warming. But the good news is, unlike CO2, methane has a very...

<p>Whenever we think of greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide is top of mind. But a more nefarious gas is gaining notoriety: Methane. Not just restricted to agricultural emissions, methane is also found in the Earth’s...

<p>Wetlands are the Earth’s greatest natural carbon stores, however, since 1900, we have lost 64% of our wetlands due to both human activity and climate change. Coastal wetlands and deltas–wetlands that form as...

<p>The Global Carbon Cycle refers to the continuous flow of carbon from the land and water, through the atmosphere and living organisms. Within the cycle there are carbon sinks and carbon emitters. As one of the largest...

<p>In a world grappling with the pressing challenges of climate change, I bring you stories of optimism, resilience, and scientific insight: Welcome to Season five of Down to Earth: A podcast for geoscientists, by...

<p>The open science movement is an experiment, but it’s an experiment that has a lot of merit when it comes to its vision of equitable transparency, accessibility and collaboration for better science, and a better...

<p>Open science has been an almost exclusively voluntary endeavor for the past two decades, with passionate individuals piecing together collaboratives, nonprofits, grants, and donations to support their work of...
