NEW BOOKS for MAY!
AI, Satellites, Maps, and Plastic
A cutting edge new tool has been created that uses satellites and AI to map thousands of piles of plastic waste from space.
Global Plastic Watch can detect plastic waste sites as small as 5 by 5 meters, creating an interactive “living” map of plastic pollution in near real-time. This free, publicly available tool has been developed by Australian non-profit, the Minderoo Foundation.
The data gathered is believed to be a world-first, providing a historic insight into one of the planet’s most complex environmental challenges - how to stop plastic from flowing into our oceans.
