3rd NOAA Workshop on Leveraging AI in Environmental Sciences

About the workshop

This virtual workshop is a continuation of the NOAA series of workshops on “Leveraging AI in Environmental Sciences.” The third event continues the successes of previous workshops and encourages participation by scientists, program managers, and leaders from the public, academic and private sectors who work in AI and environmental sciences. The theme for this year’s workshop is “Transforming Weather, Climate Services, and Blue Economy with Artificial Intelligence.” This year’s workshop is led by the NOAA Center for Artificial Intelligence (NCAI), a program in the formulation stage.

Innovating solutions to right whale research and conservation at NOAA Fisheries

Lead the Geospatial Artificial Intelligence for Animals (GAIA) collaboration with Dr. Kim Goetz which is creating an operational platform to detect whales and other marine animals in partnership with Microsoft AI for Good, the Office of Naval Research, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Maxar, and the British Antarctic Survey
Lead our engagement with the EarthRanger team at the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence to find solutions to the virtual marking of on-demand fishing gear to facilitate geolocation and avoid gear conflict, getting rope out of the water allows right whales and fishing to thrive
Developed semi-automated matching for individual photo-identification of right whales in partnership with Wild Me, Kaggle, and Deepsense.io
Member of the NOAA Center for Artificial Intelligence Executive Committee
Conduct aerial surveys to monitor the abundance and distribution of North Atlantic right whales
