Taking land-use models out of the lab for a test drive with the people who live the models gives scientists a new way to develop possible future scenarios. James Millington, a former post-doctoral ...

Abstract: A strong inter-dependence exists between the decision to develop land and the expected returns to be gained from that development. Current practice in UrbanSim modeling treats developer ...

Using centuries of land-use data, scientists have trained an AI system that evolves policy ideas the way nature evolves species—testing, mutating, and keeping only the best. The result? Smarter ...

When geoinformatics engineering researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory wanted to better understand changes in land areas and points of interest around the world, they ...

Mountain ecosystem research has come to the forefront as regions of exceptional biodiversity, unique ecological dynamics, and ...

A new scientific report lays bare the stark impacts of land-system change and land degradation on planetary health, while also offering solutions to these problems. The report was published on the eve ...

A new report from the IEA PVPS Task 13, titled “Dual Land Use for Agriculture and Solar Power Production: Overview and Performance of Agrivoltaic Systems,” lays out a compelling vision for how solar ...

Junchuan Fan and Gautam Thakur helped develop MapSpace, a land-use modeling framework developed from natural language data, geotagging and global location data. (Lena Shoemaker/ORNL, U.S. Dept. of ...
