Treeswift's Autonomous Robots Take Flight to Save Forests
Forests cover 30% of the Earth's landmass, but that number is on the decline. Despite forests' crucial role in conserving wildlife and processing carbon dioxide, many are threatened by deforestation and wildfires. Complicating these threats is the lack of quantitative information that foresters and environmental researchers need for making important decisions to preserve forests.

CarbonCure
CarbonCure is a Canadian company that develops carbon dioxide removal technologies for concrete. The technology is retrofitted into concrete plants and enables producers to inject carbon dioxide into fresh concrete during mixing, where it becomes a mineral that is permanently embedded. The carbon dioxide mineralisation increases the concrete's strength, resulting in both economic and climate benefits.

AI Keeps an Eye on Volcano Movements
Radar satellites can collect massive amounts of remote sensing data that can detect ground movements at volcanoes in near real time. These ground movements could signal impending volcanic activity and unrest; however, clouds and other atmospheric and instrumental disturbances can introduce significant errors in those ground movement measurements. Now, researchers have used artificial intelligence to clear up that noise, drastically facilitating and improving near real-time observation of volcanic movements and the detection of volcanic activity and unrest.
