Join NASA scientists on a 40-minute visual tour of Earth from space, titled "Vital Signs: Taking the Pulse of Our Planet." This annual lecture, presented at the IMAX Theater at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. on September 10, was sponsored by the Maryland Space Business Roundtable.

Published October 23, 2014, the video features scientists guiding viewers through Earth's water cycle, forests, and frozen regions, as seen through NASA's Earth observing satellite fleet. It emphasizes our planet as a complex, dynamic system.

NASA's Earth science program seeks to enhance understanding of Earth's system and its response to changes, improving predictions of climate, weather, and natural disasters to better life today and in the future.

Clara Rowe, CEO of Restor, discusses ecological restoration's vital role in protecting Earth's biodiversity and achieving climate goals, with potential to reduce 30% of global carbon emissions.

Clara Rowe, CEO of Restor, discusses ecological restoration's vital role in protecting Earth's biodiversity and achieving climate goals, with potential to reduce 30% of global carbon emissions. Drawing on a decade of experience in natural resource management and a passion for sustainable development, she advocates for open data platforms to accelerate this global movement.

Supported by a $1.2M Google.org grant and powered by Google Earth Engine, Restor is a science-based open data platform accelerating global restoration. It connects projects worldwide to scientific data, supply chains, and funding, increasing their impact and sustainability. The platform enables users to analyze restoration potential, exchange information, and make projects visible, empowering individuals to become practitioners. Restor is an Earthshot Prize 2021 Finalist and a UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration partner.

Introducing the keynote "Sustainable is the New Profitable. Green is the New Digital," this video highlights decarbonizing our economy as the decade's biggest challenge and opportunity.

Introducing the keynote "Sustainable is the New Profitable. Green is the New Digital," this video highlights decarbonizing our economy as the decade's biggest challenge and opportunity. Accelerated by the Corona crisis, this shift will bring inevitable carbon taxes and the end of fossil fuel subsidies. The circular economy will be paramount by 2030.

Companies and individuals must understand and adapt to this tectonic move towards sustainability to thrive, or risk obsolescence. Learn how to prosper in this era.

On July 20, 2015, NASA's EPIC camera on NOAA's DSCOVR satellite captured its first image of Earth's sunlit side. From its orbit one million miles away, EPIC has now completed a full year of observations, taking a new picture every two hours. These images reveal our planet's ever-changing clouds, weather systems, and fixed features like deserts, forests, and seas, while also allowing scientists to monitor atmospheric ozone, aerosols, and vegetation properties.

DSCOVR, a partnership between NASA, NOAA, and the U.S. Air Force, primarily maintains real-time solar wind monitoring capabilities. This is crucial for accurate space weather alerts and forecasts. For more information about DSCOVR, visit: http://www.nesdis.noaa.gov/DSCOVR/

Machine Learning (ML) models in mobile applications demand significant computational resources. While distributed ML offers benefits like load distribution and privacy at the network edge, it paradoxically introduces challenges such as slower execution and high bandwidth consumption, hindering low-latency edge services.

This talk addresses this paradox, proposing solutions through dynamic ML model structures and compression techniques. Organized by the ITU Journal on Future and Evolving Technologies (ITU J-FET), this webinar is part of a series covering communications and networking. Explore the ITU J-FET and its webinar series.

Inaam Chattha, who experienced eco-anxiety as a teen, channeled his concern into environmental activism, volunteering, and exploring the intersection of race, land, grief. Now a medical student, he authored children's books on eco-emotions and was named a Top 25 Under 25 Environmentalist by Starfish Canada.

In 2023, Chattha launched Green Mind, a national, youth-led initiative. It provides culturally grounded educational materials and a bilingual Climate Wellness Toolkit to help young people, especially from underrepresented communities, cope with climate anxiety and take action. The toolkit is used in Ontario classrooms for somatic grounding, journaling, and peer connection.

Covid-19 dramatically reshaped our understanding of collective action and societal change, uniting us in a fight for survival. Climate change presents a similar existential risk. Will this pandemic serve as a catalyst, inspiring humanity to address environmental challenges and drastically cut carbon emissions? Is there a silver lining in this global experience?
