Machine learning can help to understand the most important climate-impact drivers for crop yield loss. In this study, we unveil the potential of explainable machine learning to predict losses and understand their cause. nhess.copernicus.org/articles/25/...
A data-driven framework for assessing climatic impact drivers in the context of food security
Abstract. Understanding how physical climate-related hazards affect food production requires transforming climate data into relevant information for regional risk assessment. Data-driven methods can b...

🚨🌊 #FloodRisk labels for houses? A thread 🧵

Danish experts are proposing a new flood risk label for houses, similar to energy labels. This could revolutionize how we understand and prepare for flood risks.

tl;dr 👉 I support this initiative 💯.

A despoluição de rios é cara, mas traz benefícios para cidades e ecossistemas. De acordo com o professor José Scarati, é crucial identificar fontes poluentes e monitorar as águas urbanas para um tratamento eficaz
Despoluição de rios urbanos passa pela identificação da principal fonte poluidora
José Rodolfo Scarati Martins identifica dois tipos de poluição: a causada pelo esgoto e a chamada poluição difusa, que é gerada pelo transporte de resíduos e outros contaminantes pela força das...
