The COVID-19 pandemic is leading to profound changes in society, with consequent worldwide environmental impacts, positive and negative. As we seek to understand fully the consequences of these impacts, there is a pressing need for tools and solutions to help us characterise and understand what has happened. The development and sharing of these through the […]

The following presentation was given by Stephen Hallett at the recent ‘AI for Environmental Sciences‘ conference and workshop, held in July 2019 in Cambridge at the British Antarctic Survey. The talk outlines the ‘Constructing a Digital Environment’ SPF Programme.
Machine learning offers a new set of powerful tools in environmental science. There are a broad range of data-driven approaches that can be applied to the spectrum of challenges that exist. An initial step then is to prepare a computer to undertake these tasks, and in so doing, to enable the widest possible range of […]
We live, as humans ever have, in a complex world. The natural and human worlds today have intersected to such an extent that there are possibly no parts of the planet where the influence of humans is not felt at some level.
