The objective of this project is to demonstrate the potential of deep learning in predicting wildfires across Canada. The model developed here serves as a proof of concept and is not yet fully optimized, its goal is to offer valuable insights into how advanced machine learning techniques can be...
The estimated cost of this event is around US $195 billion. In the same year, the Californian wildfires resulted in approximately US $10 billion in damages. Despite these events, many companies are still holding back from connecting climate risk with financial impact potentially as a result of ...
representing First Nations people in Alberta [3,4,5]. The urgency of this public health issue underscores the need to better understand how to support all people who use unregulated drugs, including PPWUD [57]. The SDGs and Canada’s commitment to improving maternal health outcomes in the con...
Full size image Error metrics for the pH interpolations were generally very low, including RMSE and MAE; this is to be expected, since the restricted range of feasible pH values makes extremely large errors impossible. While it is not valid to directly compare most metrics between interpolations...
CBD product company Highline Wellness celebrated its first birthday with a 20% off sitewide sale—and in support of the Australian wildfires, it donated 5% of all sales made to Bush Heritage Australia. The Highline Wellness team even tested impact messaging against product-focused messaging in the...
Ocean spans the coast of British Columbia (Canada) and is impacted by anthropogenic activities including oil pipeline developments, maritime fossil fuel tanker traffic, industrial chemical effluents, agricultural and urban emissions in tandem with stormwater and wastewater discharges, and forest wildfires. ...
Superimposed on these have been wildfires and a major mountain pine beetle infestation leading to higher erosion rates in the affected areas. Conclusions The sediment source fingerprinting technique, in combination with historical information on the hydrometeorology and the land use and river management ...
Of these intersected wildfires, nine were less than five years old at the time of over-flight in 2010 and were discarded because we cannot discriminate between shrubs and young trees at this early stage [43]. For each intersected fire, we had data on the years since fire (YSF), spatial...
