” the website explains. “NeMO-Net is an open-source deep convolutional neural network (CNN) that leverages NASA’s Supercomputer, Pleiades, to use game data to classify and assess the health of coral reefs around the world
This2D Driving Simulatoris an experiment rather than an actual game. You can driver around the city with a car or a bus, the only problem is that it does not encounters any obstacles so in practice you can glide over everything on the map. Nonetheless I found it quite entertaining. 8. ...

Coral reef research and management efforts can be improved when supported by reef maps providing local-scale details across global extents. However, such maps are difficult to generate due to the broad geographic range of coral reefs, the complexities of relating satellite imagery to geomorphic or ...

One of the most exceptional safari travel spots on the planet, Tanzania is home to some of the world's richest landscapes and prosperous wildlife. Bordering Kenya and Zambia, the country is the largest in East Africa. More than 120 ethnic groups live in
The placement and abundance of coral assemblages around the Qatari Peninsula are intimately linked to the creation of hard substratum through the rapid lithification of the seabed into hardgrounds. This process is driven by the abiotic precipitation of calcium carbonate from seawater and can turn an...
There are millions upon millions of lakes around the world and there's a wide variety of lake types too, so covering everything on lakes is a bit much when all we want to do is create a map. Instead I'll delve into a few types you may find interesting to add to your map based ...
