Biologist Alex Flecker and computer scientist Carla Gomes co-led a project that employed AI and around 40 researchers in an attempt to determine optimal placement of around 350 hydropower dams in the Amazon river basin.
A few years ago, biologist Alexander Flecker went to computer scientist Carla Gomes with an ambitious suggestion: utilize AI and other tools, in partnership with a diverse group of Amazon river basin experts, to figure out how to meet hydropower requirements with the least impact of the environment.
In an oceanic omen for climate change’s intensifying effects, Cornell-led research shows that seagrass – through large swaths of intertidal meadows in the Pacific Northwest – suffers from a lesion-filled wasting disease. The grasses’ once-vibrant pla
