Unveiling nature's secrets: Deep learning for enhanced biogenic emission resolution by Antonio Giganti

“…In urban planning, accurate gas emission maps can inform the design of green spaces and other urban features, helping reduce emissions and health impacts on city populations.Additionally, this research can generate dense datasets for atmospheric chemistry, climate, and air quality models. These data can help capture small-scale processes, improve our understanding of BVOC interactions with other chemical compounds, and better quantify emissions caused by abiotic stress and ozone stress.As the need to tackle atmospheric chemical shifts and climate change intensifies, BVOC emission maps are emerging as critical resources for enhancing our understanding of these compounds' impact on Earth's future. …”
