Animal niches in the airspace For flying animals, including many birds, bats, and insects, the air is a crucial arena for a range of behaviors. Technological advances, such as year-round tracking of flight altitudes and expanded use of radar, increasingly show how flying animals use the aerial habitat. This enables us to answer questions about the environmental patterns and ecological processes that shape aerial niches, including energetics, biotic interactions, and risk due to growing anthropogenic conflicts. In this review, we identify environmental conditions and biological interactions influencing where animals occur in the airspace throughout their life cycles. We outline an ecological framework to advance understanding of how different properties of the airspace shape fundamental aerial habitat niches and how biotic interactions influence the realized niches.

Machine Learning Simulates 1,000 Years of Climate - Eos The Deep Learning Earth System Model is competitive with CMIP6 models and uses less computational power.

📚 What we're reading: "Machine Learning Simulates 1,000 Years of Climate," by Madeline Reinsel, Eos.

The Deep Learning Earth System Model creates accurate short-term forecasts and can simulate a millenium of climate in less than 12 computing hours. 🖥️ 🌦️

Aechelon launches Project Orbion, first AI-enabled Earth digital twin Aechelon and partners launch Project Orbion, an AI-enabled Earth digital twin for defense, disaster response, and AI training.

A new awesome foundation for spatial computing! in a perfect world this would have been open shared code and data, but without commercial capital and tech, the scale and complexity, prohibit the more leisurely pace of opensource and crowdsource development

Not optimistic yet. A sustainable replacement for still plastics requires lots more R&D funding

This may be true for be life sciences and physical sciences, but many information and social scientists are still entrenched in the bad place

85 climate scientists refute Trump administration report downplaying climate change A group of 85 climate scientists released a review Tuesday refuting a Trump administration report that downplays climate change and its impacts. The review comes as public comment is being mad...

“Attribution of climate change is challenged by natural climate variability, data limitations, and model deficiencies.”

🧐That's how the Trump administration downplayed the link between human activity & climate change.

📢 Climate experts pushed back with facts.

[FOUNDER'S BRIEF - @rhettayersbutler.bsky.social[

There is a place where the Amazon meets the Andes, where forests climb the lower slopes of mountains before giving way to the mists of the cloud forests. To stand there is to feel the weight of two great worlds converging.

What an EPIC Sustainable concept

Estimating the predictability of questionable open-access journals AI screening of journals identifies over a thousand questionable journals, helping experts review where it is needed most.

1/ University of Colorado researchers identified “over 1000 suspect journals, which collectively publish hundreds of thousands of articles, receive millions of citations, acknowledge funding from major agencies, and attract authors from developing countries.”

You’re welcome. It’s a useful trick

Just ask the the models to conversationally explain how they work. Just prompt who the audience is, what attitude to use answering questions.
