Early Forest Fire Detection
Democratize open and low-tech solutions for fighting wildfires, for the benefit of the ecosystems and the citizens.
Wild Salmon Migration Monitoring
The project monitors wild salmon migration to ensure the number passing through meets state regulations, addressing threats from human activities like fisheries and dams.
Forest Elephants Passive Acoustic Monitoring
Conservation efforts struggle to monitor forest elephants in dense rainforests, with acoustic monitoring providing a promising solution via accurate, user-friendly detection systems that aid in population monitoring and anti-poaching efforts while mitigating human-elephant conflicts.
Scaling the EarthRanger Platform
A backend engineering mission with the EarthRanger team at Ai2, separating read and write query paths, partitioning the database, and speeding up the APIs that power real-time conservation across 900+ protected areas.
Coastal Erosion and Land Cover Monitoring
Drone-based monitoring of coastal erosion, sedimentation and land cover change on the Wadden Sea coast, served through an interactive web portal.
Monitoring Smolt Salmon Migration with Sonar
An innovative use of sonar imagery to monitor and analyze the migration patterns of smolt salmon as they journey from freshwater to the ocean
Wadden Sea Seal Monitoring
Automated seal population monitoring system using AI to count, classify, and identify individual seals from aerial imagery in the Wadden Sea.
Biowatch: Camera Trap Data, Visualized
A free, open-source desktop application for visualizing camera trap data to support conservation efforts.
Snow Leopard Monitoring
Non-invasive snow leopard monitoring using computer vision analysis of camera trap photos to identify individual animals.
Trout Identification
Non-invasive technology for monitoring trout populations using computer vision to accurately identify individual fish.
Bird Flu Monitoring
