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…

In the face of #risks & #hazards due to #climate change, it is more urgent than ever to collaborate across disciplines & sectors. The field of #Geography, in many ways, has always been a gathering place. @Geography2050 is our way of honoring that legacy. bit.ly/3YdX6KJ

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. go.nasa.gov/45xnbq1

ALT The gif alternates between two images of a lake. The first image labeled Sept. 2020, shows a lake that is filled with different shades of green water. There is a light tan colored ring around the edges of the lake. The second image labeled Sept. 2023, shows the same lake but it is mostly a light tan color with only a tiny bit of green near the top middle of the lake. Surrounding the lake is land with different shades of brown.
