Why Mapping Wetlands With AI Is Important - CleanTechnica

Chesapeake Conservancy's data science team developed an artificial intelligence deep learning model for mapping wetlands, which resulted in 94% accuracy. This method for wetland mapping could deliver important outcomes for protecting and conserving wetlands. "We're happy to support this exciting project as it explores new methods for wetlands delineation using satellite imagery," said EPRI Principal Technical Leader Dr. Nalini Rao. "It has the potential to save natural resource managers time in the field by using a GIS tool right from their desks. Plus, it can help companies and the public manage impacts to wetlands as infrastructure builds are planned to meet decarbonization targets."
