The Terrain-AI research project led by Maynooth University aims to share insights that could help reduce global carbon emissions.
Microsoft Ireland and Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) have announced the co-funding of a €5m climate project, which will take data from 14 test sites across Ireland.
The new research project, Terrain-AI, will be led by Maynooth University and will be conducted in collaboration with Teagasc, Trinity College Dublin, University College Dublin, Dublin City University and University of Limerick.
The project aims to give a better understanding of the impact of human activity on land use and how it relates to the climate crisis. Following its initial focus on Irish test sites, the project’s ultimate goal is to reduce global carbon levels by sharing the insights and models developed with other countries.
