Energy & Utility Skills has launched its latest report Water Industry Workforce Resilience Research, and undertaken a “skills deep dive” into three key areas of the industry over the next decade. These are: Nature-based solutions Net zero and bioresources Artificial intelligence and data and digital skills This report supports the achievement of the industry’s Net […]
The article was originally published by Jennifer Raynor, Assistant Professor of Natural Resource Economics, University of Wisconsin-Madison. Humans are racing to harness the ocean’s vast potential to power global economic growth. Worldwide, ocean-based industries such as fishing, shipping and energy production generate at least US$1.5 trillion in economic activity each year and support 31 million jobs. This value […]
Dutch researchers and fishing industry have developed an AI-based tool for the Fully Documented Fisheries (FDF) project. The problem of unwanted catches has always been present in fisheries. In the EU, fishers must register all catches and bring them to shore (land), which takes up time, space and is very costly. This is where artificial […]
Paper in Climate and Atmospheric Science journal indicates huge potential role for artificial intelligence Abstract In recent years there has been a surge of interest in the potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to address the global threat of climate change. Here, we consider climate change applications, and review the ability of AI technologies to better […]
With advances in satellite data and machine learning artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, researchers have created a model that has successfully estimated fish stocks with 85 percent accuracy in the Western Indian Ocean pilot region. Timothy McClanahan from the Wildlife Conservation Society, and co-authors, used years of fish abundance data combined with satellite measurements and an […]
