AI for Earth: Rainforest Conservation by Acoustic Surveillance [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Saving rainforests is a key to halting adverse climate changes. In this paper, we introduce an innovative solution built on acoustic surveillance and machine learning technologies to help rainforest conservation. In particular, We propose new convolutional neural network (CNN) models for environmental sound classification and achieved promising ...

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.This paper takes a retrospective look at the changes in the extent of the Congo forest and great ape habitat in the past 20 years. The data and method used in this study are novel. This produced the very first Central Africa ‐specific oil palm extent and forest change dynamics, highlighting a great ape habitat and species range decline.

Equatorial African Lightning: Past. Present and Future [PDF]
arXivLightning strikes are one of the leading causes of death among natural disasters in tropical regions. The Congo rainforests host the highest rates of lightning flashes in the world and the lightning properties in this region have a strong seasonality owing to the cross-equatorial movements of the Inter Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) throughout the ...

On a tropical dual Nullstellensatz [PDF]
arXiv, 2011 Since a tropical Nullstellensatz fails even for tropical univariate polynomials we study a conjecture on a tropical {\it dual} Nullstellensatz for tropical polynomial systems in terms of solvability of a tropical linear system with the Cayley matrix associated to the tropical polynomial system.

Remotely sensing coral bleaching in the Red Sea
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Coral bleaching, often triggered by oceanic warming, devastates coral reef systems, resulting in substantial alterations to biodiversity and ecosystem services. For conservation management, an effective technique is needed to not only detect and monitor coral bleaching events but also to predict their severity levels.

Identifying Land Patterns from Satellite Imagery in Amazon Rainforest using Deep Learning [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 The Amazon rainforests have been suffering widespread damage, both via natural and artificial means. Every minute, it is estimated that the world loses forest cover the size of 48 football fields. Deforestation in the Amazon rainforest has led to drastically reduced biodiversity, loss of habitat, climate change, and other biological losses.
