AI can now find your location in photos. “PIGEON system could identify the location of a Google Street view image anywhere on earth. It guesses the correct country 95% of the time and can usually pick a location within about 25 miles of the actual site” npr.org/2023/12/19/121998400…

Over the past three years, the largest lake in the Middle East, Lake Urmia, transformed from being filled with water into a mostly vast, dry salt flat. Drier conditions over that time led to this change captured by #Landsat 8 and 9 in Sept. 2020 and 2023.

Is climate change turning the ocean green?
A new study revealed that 56% of the global sea surface has changed color in the past 20 years. Data from @NASA’s MODIS instrument showed that much of the change is from the ocean turning more green. earthobservatory.nasa.gov/im…
ALT A global map centered on the Pacific Ocean. The map highlights the areas where ocean surface color changed. Change in color is represented by shades of green. The darkest green correlates to higher levels of change. Black dots on the map represent areas where chlorophyll levels also changed.
