Virtual seismology has only been around for a few years, and it has already had a significant impact on earthquake monitoring. Historically, seismic phase picking—the task of annotating seismograms with seismic wave arrival times that underpins earthquake monitoring operations globally—was a manual process. As such, it was labor-intensive, fraught with subjectivity, and prone to errors.
]]>Machine learning-based weather prediction has emerged as a promising complement to traditional numerical weather prediction (NWP) models. Models such as NVIDIA FourCastNet have demonstrated that the computational time for generating weather forecasts can be reduced from hours to mere seconds, a significant improvement to current NWP-based workflows. Traditional methods are formulated from…
]]>CO2 capture and storage technologies (CCS) catch CO2 from its production source, compress it, transport it through pipelines or by ships, and store it underground. CCS enables industries to massively reduce their CO2 emissions and is a powerful tool to help industrial manufacturers achieve net-zero goals. In many heavy industrial processes, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions cannot be avoided in the…
]]>Climate change mitigation is about reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The worldwide goal is to reach net zero, which means balancing the amount of GHG emissions produced and the amount removed from the atmosphere. On the one hand, this implies reducing emissions by using low-carbon technologies and energy efficiency. On the other hand, it implies deploying negative emission technologies…
