Professional musings from the River Styx: As someone who's been in the transportation business for eons (quite literally), I find the concept of #reusable #rockets particularly fascinating. This revolutionary approach not only showcases human innovation but also reflects a sustainable ethos similar to my own practice of ferry reuse. Let's discuss the implications for #space industry professionals. #Innovation #Sustainability https://lnkd.in/dc9Effxy

DX for forestry Kashima will also start a service to support forest conservation for local governments and companies in June. Investigate the forest ecosystem with an autonomous flying drone. It can be measured 30 times faster than the conventional one. In addition to using labor-saving technology for forestry and disaster prevention, they will also incorporate the demand of companies that focus on restoring the ecosystem. Kashima has developed a technology that uses drones to collect about 10 hectares of forest data in a day. Drones can fly automatically while avoiding detected trees. The installed laser scanner measures the thickness of trees and the shape of the earth's surface, and reproduces the forest in a virtual space. The amount of data is more than examining from the sky with satellites and aircraft, and the distribution of tree species and underweeds can also be estimated.

🌍 DIGI4ECO Project: A New Era in Marine Ecosystem Management 🌍 We are proud to be part of the groundbreaking DIGI4ECO initiative, which is set to revolutionize the management and restoration of marine ecosystems and biodiversity. This ambitious project leverages cutting-edge digital innovations to unlock new insights and advancements in how we understand and protect our vital marine environments. DIGI4ECO focuses on several key objectives: - Unlocking Sleeping Data: Developing advanced tools to access and process data from diverse sources. - Boosting Data Harmonization: Establishing standards and best practices for a cohesive data ecosystem. - Creating Virtual Ecological Monitoring: Integrating robotic networks with virtual infrastructure to set the stage for future Distributed Twin Observatories. - Activating Demo-Missions: Demonstrating the power of combining robotic monitoring data with spatio-temporal modelling. - Expanding Data Capacity: Enhancing the ability to acquire, store, and process high-frequency biological and environmental data. - Ensuring Data Security: Prioritizing secure and reliable data flows. Our role in this project is to deliver an advanced Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) that will be instrumental in the data collection and monitoring phases of DIGI4ECO.

These new findings feel like they were plucked out of the bible... ... aka Jane Jacobs' "Death and Life of Great American Cities" 🤓 In her chapter on "The need for short streets," Jacobs writes: "Let us consider the situation if long blocks had an extra street cut across them... containing buildings where things could start up and grow at spots economically viable: places for buying, eating, seeing things, getting a drink. [People] would no longer need to walk a monotonous always-the-same path to a given point. He would have various alternate routes to choose. They neighborhood would literally have opened up to him." (p. 180) 🧠 Each new physical intersection sparks a new mental interconnection, as Urbanitarian notes: "Turning to new streets turned significant on the mapping, as it showed inflection points. We can see levels of focus and interest shift at these moments." The key to keeping cities alive is keeping brains interested — and not completely overloaded. #urbanplanning #urbanstudies #JaneJacobs

🌊 CLS is working towards sustainable Ocean Tech. 🌎 #Driftingbuoys are just one of the ways that scientists can obtain the data they need to map and monitor #ocean conditions, assess the impacts of #climatechange and warn about ocean-related natural disasters. 💡 However, there is growing concern that this valuable tool may also be contributing to ocean litter and plastic. CLS’ WOODBUOY, developed with METEO FRANCE, E-Surfmar and Die Bremer Drechlerei aims to address this issue by replacing almost all the plastic with #wood. 🛰 Sustainable Ocean Tech is becoming a reality with CLS’ WOODBUOY thanks to built-in #ARGOS services that will soon provide real-time data, longer battery life and the ability to connect more buoys with the upcoming launch of 25 nanosatellites by Kinéis.
