A new AI-generated map of the world's renewable energy projects and trees could aid in the fight against global warming.

A new AI-generated map of the world's renewable energy projects and trees could aid in the fight against global warming.

Satlas focuses on global tree cover and sustainable energy initiatives. Sentinel-2-monitored regions of the earth are included in the data, which is updated each month. With the exception of some of Antarctica and vast open oceans, that covers the majority of the planet. Along with onshore and offshore wind turbines, it displays solar farms. It can also be used to track historical changes in the amount of tree canopy. For politicians working to achieve climate change and other environmental goals, those are crucial findings. However, the Allen Institute claims that there has never been a public tool this comprehensive and free.

Our intention, according to Kembhavi, "was to sort of build a foundation model for monitoring our planet." In order to enable other scientists to research the effects of climate change and other events occurring on Earth, we will develop this basic model, fine-tune it for specific jobs, and then make these AI forecasts available to them.
