Google and NASA turn to AI to hunt methane plumes from space
Google and NASA JPL just introduced MAPL-EMIT, a deep learning model tracking global methane emissions from space via NASA's EMIT instrument. Trained on 3.6 million simulated plumes, it detects 50% more plumes than human experts and identified over 23,000 extra plumes worldwide. The model is now open-sourced on Kaggle and GitHub.
