Please join us for a seminar sponsored by NOAA’s Performance, Risk & Social Science Office featuring a project by the international research and innovation platform, Artificial Intelligence for Environment & Sustainability (ARIES) at the Basque Centre for Climate Change (BC3).
Summary: Ocean accounting quantifies the benefits that oceans provide to society through integration of diverse data and models. This talk will describe how the Artificial Intelligence for Environment and Sustainability (ARIES) modeling platform uses AI to foster data and model interoperability based on the FAIR Principles. ARIES provides open-source software tools for (1) scientists to contribute data and models to a growing knowledge network and (2) nontechnical stakeholders to access data and models in a user-friendly and transparent way via a web interface. The approach has been applied to natural capital accounting in partnership with the U.N., and could naturally be extended to ocean accounting to support faster, easier, and more consistent compilation of ocean accounts.
Keywords: Artificial intelligence, FAIR principles, natural capital accounting
