Keeping AI on the Planet: NVIDIA Technologies Make Every Day About Earth Day

Whether at sea, land or in the sky — even outer space — NVIDIA technology is helping research scientists and developers alike explore and understand oceans, wildlife, the climate and far out existential risks like asteroids.

These increasingly intelligent developments are helping to analyze environmental pollutants, damage to habitats and natural disaster risks at an accelerated pace. This, in turn, enables partnerships with local governments to take climate mitigation steps like pollution prevention and proactive planting.

Sailing the Seas of AI

Amphitrite, based in France, uses satellite data with AI to simulate and predict ocean currents and weather. Its AI models, driven by the NVIDIA AI and Earth-2 platforms, offer insights for positioning vessels to best harness the power of ocean currents. This helps determine when it’s best to travel, as well as the optimal course, reducing travel times, fuel consumption and carbon emissions. Amphitrite is a member of the NVIDIA Inception program for cutting-edge startups.

Watching Over Wildlife With AI

München, Germany-based OroraTech monitors animal poaching and wildfires with NVIDIA CUDA and Jetson. The NVIDIA Inception program member uses the EarthRanger platform to offer a wildfire detection and monitoring service that uses satellite imagery and AI to safeguard the environment and prevent poaching.

Keeping AI on the Weather

Weather agencies and climate scientists worldwide are using NVIDIA CorrDiff, a generative AI weather model enabling kilometer-scale forecasts of wind, temperature and precipitation type and amount. CorrDiff is part of the NVIDIA Earth-2 platform for simulating weather and climate conditions. It’s available as an easy-to-deploy NVIDIA NIM microservice.

In another climate effort, NVIDIA Research announced a new generative AI model, called StormCast, for reliable weather prediction at a scale larger than storms.

The model, outlined in a paper, can help with disaster and mitigation planning, saving lives.

Avoiding Mass Extinction Events

Researchers reported in Nature how a new method was able to spot 10-meter asteroids within the main asteroid belt located between Jupiter and Mars. Such space rocks can range from bus-sized to several Costco stores in width and deliver destruction to cities. It used NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), which was tapped for views of these asteroids from previous research and enabled by NVIDIA accelerated computing.
