Can we rely on AI to predict famine? GEOG researchers caution that AI can miss emerging threats + struggle with unreliable data, particularly in conflict zones. They argue for using AI selectively while keeping human experts in the loop, @NatureFoodJnl geog.umd.edu/featured-conten…

We’re sharing an open data release for the flood that swept through the Bhote Koshi–Trishuli river corridor across the China-Nepal border today. This resource is intended to help support disaster response experts, and will be updated as we capture more imagery of impacted regions. Our thoughts are with the communities affected and the first responders working to respond to this disaster. Access the dataset at: source.coop/planet/disasterd…

Farming information from space 🧑‍🌾🛰️ The @nasa @usgs Landsat and @esa Sentinel-2 satellites can ‘see’ more than human eyes can. Combining near-infrared and visible light data allows us to monitor where crops are growing and how healthy the plants are.

This Earth Day, we’re looking back at new views of our home from the Artemis II crew. As they flew around the Moon, the crew was 252,756 miles from Earth at their farthest point. No matter how far we go, we will always remember where we came from. 🌎
