NASA scientists and collaborators have achieved a supercomputing and AI breakthrough, a deep learning model that has the potential, with some limitations, to map the location and size of every tree worldwide. The new model, described in a new Nature paper, lays the foundation for a more accurate global measure of carbon storage on land. In…
