The purpose of this study is to examine how the environment and neighborhood characteristics affects the health of the area residents. The study will help determine how changing neighborhood characteristics, such as green space, affect heart health, risk factors for other diseases, sense of well- being or neighborhood cohesion.

Coral reefs are among the most sensitive ecosystems affected by ocean warming and acidification, and are predicted to collapse over the next few decades. Reefs are predicted to shift from net accreting calcifier-dominated systems with exceptionally high biodiversity to net eroding algal-dominated systems with dramatically reduced biodiversity. Here, we present a two-year experimental study examining the responses of entire mesocosm coral reef communities to warming (+2 °C), acidification (−0.2 pH units), and combined future ocean (+2 °C, −0.2 pH) treatments. Contrary to modeled projections, we show that under future ocean conditions, these communities shift structure and composition yet persist as novel calcifying ecosystems with high biodiversity. Our results suggest that if climate change is limited to Paris Climate Agreement targets, coral reefs could persist in an altered state rather than collapse.

Weak Labeling for Cropland Mapping in Africa

Author: Robinson, Caleb ; Hacheme, Gilles Quentin ; Ferres, Juan M. Lavista ; Dodhia, Rahul ; Zaytar, Akram ; Tadesse, Girmaw Abebe ; Wood, Stephen

Cropland mapping can play a vital role in addressing environmental,agricultural, and food security challenges. However, in the context of Africa,practical applications are often hindered by the limited availability ofhigh-resolution cropland maps. Such maps typically require extensive humanlabeling, thereby creating a scalability bottleneck. To address this, wepropose an approach that utilizes unsupervised object clustering to refineexisting weak labels, such as those obtained from global cropland maps. Therefined labels, in conjunction with sparse human annotations, serve as trainingdata for a semantic segmentation network designed to identify cropland areas.We conduct experiments to demonstrate the benefits of the improved weak labelsgenerated by our method. In a scenario where we train our model with only 33human-annotated labels, the F_1 score for the cropland category increases from0.53 to 0.84 when we add the mined negative labels.
