A dataset of harmonized global air quality monitoring metadata - Scientific Data Scientific Data - A dataset of harmonized global air quality monitoring metadata

Our paper "A dataset of harmonized global air quality monitoring metadata" has been published on Nat. Scientific Data πŸ›°οΈ

Through transfer learning and geospatial embeddings, we build a large-scale dataset of air quality stations 🫁

Accounting for ocean impacts nearly doubles the social cost of carbon - Nature Climate Change Oceans provide essential ecosystem services to human society, yet the climate impacts on blue capital have long been ignored. Incorporating the latest works on ocean science and economics, researchers...

Climate change has an impact on the oceans, which in turn affects humanity, including our economy. In this recent paper, we quantify these impacts www.nature.com/articles/s41..., led by @bbastien.bsky.social with @francescogranella.bsky.social @maxtav.bsky.social

Debate me bro Statistical inference is rhetoric.

Statistical inference is a rhetoric of counts.

This is partially true. The problem with these technologies is that they heavily rely on the policy environment to thrive. How can DAC (or SRM) succeed without ambitious targets? Their added value beyond carbon removal is almost zero

It may bust or not, but I am pro expropriating their asses in any case.

AI is a precious tool and should be used for the common good not to feed capitalists

GitHub - hadley/genzplyr: dplyr but make it bussin fr fr no cap dplyr but make it bussin fr fr no cap. Contribute to hadley/genzplyr development by creating an account on GitHub.

Do you teach #rstats? Do your students complain about how lame and old-fashioned dplyr is? Don't worry: I have the solution for you: github.com/hadley/genzp....

genzplyr is dplyr, but bussin fr fr no cap.

I have created this repo github.com/crp94/geospa... for easy, scalable, and flexible use of geospatial embeddings, currently supporting GeoCLIP and SatCLIP (more are coming!)

Not many new functionalities, it's just a simple wrapper that I created for my own convenience.

Making the Just Transition Just: why labor rights must be at the center of green industrial policy The concept of a "just transition" has become a popular buzzword, but history shows us that transitions are never automatically just. Without putting labor at the center of green industrial policy,…

If labor is not at the center of green industrial policy, there won't be anything 'just' about the green transition. Transitions are never automatically justβ€”they must be negotiated, including through strong conditionalities embedded in public investments.
