Employing biodiversity to reduce pesticide risk
Biodiversity (eg., crop diversification, crop-domestic animal co-culture, and crop-edible fungus co-culture) has been proved to be a useful way to suppress pests and therefore to reduce pesticide risk in farming.
Quantifying the shift of public export finance from fossil fuels to renewable energy
Export credit agencies (ECAs) de-risk and enable energy projects worldwide. Here, we analyze 921 energy deals backed by ECAs from 31 OECD and non-OECD countries to identify the direction and patterns of ECA energy financing, including fossil fuels, renewables, and grid infrastructure since 2013.
Predicting Daily CO₂ Emissions with Machine Learning and Deep Learning Models
The recent devastating wildfires in California serve as a reminder of the urgent need for actionable climate solutions. These events, fueled by rising global temperatures and unchecked CO₂ emissions, highlight the importance of understanding and predicting carbon output on a more granular level.
Gridded precipitation intensity-duration-frequency curves in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau
The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau Precipitation Intensity-Duration-Frequency Curves (QTPPIDFC) dataset, with a 1/30° spatial resolution, is generated, as the first gridded dataset tailored for estimating extreme precipitation characteristics in the region.
Towards Sustainable Benchmarking in AI for Digital Pathology
Deep Learning (DL) can transform medical diagnostics, but its environmental cost is often overlooked. A new benchmarking approach for DL in pathology is vital, integrating carbon footprint with diagnostic performance to develop sustainable, efficient AI solutions.
