📚 What we're reading: "Why Geospatial AI Will Still Need Human Insight," by Abigail Hart at Geo Week News.

While interfaces appear frictionless, humans are crucial for the hidden complexies. AI is only as good as training, data cleaning, bias correction, and validation steps to avoid misdirection.

Artificial intelligence has become an integral part of modern workflows, seemingly overnight. Software makers have debuted tools that enable automation, object detection, high-resolution mapping, and

When vital data disappears, science and society lose more than information; we lose our ability to research, respond, and recover.

Although major earthquakes of magnitude 7 or higher make news because they occur infrequently, smaller earthquakes are quite common. In an average year, we can expect around 15,000 magnitude 4 earthquakes around the world.
