AI with Locality Awareness

The University of Bonn is hosting a new Emmy Noether Group devoted to AI methods. Junior Professor Marc Rußwurm is developing AI methods for fusing different types of geodata to arrive at a uniform geospatial representation.

Rainforest conservation is bad for the economy!?

Violence, organized crime, and health problems: these issues do not immediately spring to mind when one thinks of the Brazilian rainforest. Clearing trees there not only releases stored carbon dioxide and decimates biodiversity. There are many different effects associated with rainforest destruction: Gustavo Magalhães de Oliveira and Yannic Damm from the Institute for Food and Resource Economics at the University of Bonn have investigated violence and respiratory diseases as consequences of deforestation. In the new episode of the Hypothesis podcast, the scientists discuss the thesis “Rainforest protection is bad for the economy” with host Denis Nasser.

It’d be lovely if it isn’t all stunted

For many years, the Nature Conservation and Landscape Ecology association (NaLa e. V.) and the Faculty of Agricultural, Nutritional and Engineering Sciences at the University of Bonn have organized a Christmas tree event. Spruce and pine trees from the Eifel are then handed over to Christmas tree fans. Those who take a tree are asked to make a voluntary charitable donation, with all proceeds going to social and environmental projects around the region.
