Applying computing to better understand ecosystems, address environmental challenges, and support a more sustainable future.
Bioacoustics is a cross-disciplinary science that combines biology and acoustics. Usually, it refers to the investigation of sound production, dispersion and reception in animals (including humans). In our research lab, we collaborate with conservation organizations…
The effects of climate change require us to think differently. In this episode, we look at how innovations are helping us understand global ecological shifts, while hyperlocal sensing technology helps us identify the effects of…
AIDE: Annotation Interface for Data-driven Ecology – Tools for detecting wildlife in aerial images using active learning
Physics-based groundwater – surface water modeling at continental scale Aquanty, which is a research spin off from the University of Waterloo, is at the forefront of developing state-of-the-art fully-integrated hydrologic models to better understand and…
Curbing carbon pollution to halt warming at 1.5 degrees and adapt to climate impacts requires recalibrating our financial system to support energy, transport, and food systems transitions. Current prices, from carbon to energy to food,…
In this panel, we’ll share insights on carbon-negative innovation technologies and cutting-edge research from different perspectives, including public policy, earth science, environmental science, and computer science. We’ll also discuss how to promote interdisciplinary collaboration, inspire…
At Microsoft, we fully believe the world needs to create a net-zero carbon economy by the year 2050. This is a broad problem—a truly planet-sized challenge—that the world needs to attack with a sense of…
