As so many industries rush to embrace AI, Esri's approach to responsible AI remains grounded in: - Authoritative geographic context - Trust, intention, & transparency - Interoperable capabilities for easy integration More info at www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/... #gischat
Esri's approach to responsible AISpeed and efficiency alone don’t guarantee better decisions. Here’s how Esri is building AI that’s grounded, transparent, and built for the decisions that matter.www.esri.comAs most of Earth’s HABITAT is actually on the ocean floor pls check out our paper on a new characterization of the bumpiness of the global seabed IN COMBO w/ primary physical properties deep water (temp, salinity, bottom pH, dissolved oxygen, POC, nutrients). tos.org/oceanography... 🌊 🦑 #gischat

Where nature draws the map – here are 5 ways to look at the US, without state boundariesState lines are one way to picture the US, but natural history provides another – one that shows the ancient and living connections running across the landscape.theconversation.com"If universities oppose the actions of the administration, they need to say so quickly so that their constituents aren’t left wondering **whether there’s a plan**. The alternative is a community of university scientists adrift & grasping for a lifeline." www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 🧪
Is this the battery that could change everything? Sodium-ion batteries promise to be cheaper, safer and more environmentally friendly than the lithium-ion cells that currently dominate technologies such as electric cars. www.nature.com/articles/d41... h/t @floragraham.bsky.social
Beyond lithium: how sodium-ion batteries could change the worldBatteries based on sodium ions are entering mass production. Some researchers say they could ultimately be a cheaper, safer alternative to lithium in electric cars and other energy applications.www.nature.comHooray! @MissionBlue has today officially launched their new Science Initiative, led by their amazing Chief Scientist (and my friend) Dr. Tessa Hempson 🇿🇦! 🌊 🦑 🧪 🌏 🌍 🌎 Go team go!!! youtu.be/Q6jfehHBvi0?... missionblue.org/our-work/
