Trevor Pitcher's students at the University of Windsor's Great Lakes Institute for Environmental Research have made breakthroughs in the international effort to restore sturgeon populations in the Great Lakes.
As the Arctic warms faster than anywhere else on Earth, animals that have evolved to survive the cold face unprecedented challenges. While scientists are learning more about how modern wildlife responds to environmental change, ...
Deep neural networks (DNNs), the machine learning algorithms underpinning the functioning of large language models (LLMs) and other artificial intelligence (AI) models, learn to make accurate predictions by analyzing large ...
A new method, which uses synthetic datasets and transfer learning to overcome data scarcity and variability, significantly outperforms conventional techniques in multi-year field trials.
By leveraging a vision foundation model called Depth Anything V2, the method can accurately segment crops across diverse environments—field, lab, and aerial—reducing both time and cost in agricultural data preparation.
By integrating large-kernel convolutional blocks and a novel loss function, LKNet effectively addresses challenges such as overlapping targets, annotation bias, and variability in panicle structure across growth stages. Tested ...
Glaciers carved the deep valleys of Banff, eroded Ontario to deposit the fertile soils of the Prairies, and continue to change Earth's surface. But how fast do glaciers sculpt the landscape?
On New Year's Day 1995, a monstrous 80-foot wave in the North Sea slammed into the Draupner oil platform. The wall of water crumpled steel railings and flung heavy equipment across the deck—but its biggest impact was what ...
Last Sunday, tens of thousands marched across the Sydney Harbor Bridge in support of Gaza. But exactly how many people were there depends on whom you ask.
MBARI researchers have developed an innovative imaging system that can be deployed at great depths underwater to study the movement of marine life. The team used the system to study deep-sea octopus and shared their findings ...
