AI can be good. So good, that we are now seeing models that are being developed to map and potentially tell us the behaviour of Coral Reefs. Coral reefs make up less than 1% of the world and host around 25% of marine species. They are much more important than you may think they are! In this episode, we dive deep into the causes of coral bleaching and it's implications, plus exploring the technology used around AI for spatial mapping from the following article: https://newatlas.com/science/deepreefmap-video-footage-3d-coral-reef-maps/Don't miss the action across our socials! subscribe to the podcast and follow us on:Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/EngineeringDadYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/c/EngineeringDadsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/EngineeringDadsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/engineering.dads/Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@engineering.dads Hosted on Acast.

The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) has recently declared that we are now in an El Niño event. This climate phenomenon involves the warming of the sea surface temperatures in the tropical regions of the Pacific Ocean, forming part of the ENSO (El Nino-Southern Oscillation). We discuss what this El Niño may entail, and subsequently how to prepare for the summer heat in Australia. One of the main concerns is the previous El Niño event was preceded by 3 triple La Niña events. As we briefly touch on why, you can find the research paper we refer to by the National Science Foundation here: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adg1213 If you like what you hear, consider subscribing to the podcast and following us on our socials:Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/EngineeringDadYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/c/EngineeringDadsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/EngineeringDadsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/engineering.dads/Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@engineering.dads Hosted on Acast.
