This is Dynamic World, a Google platform that uses AI to provide real-time data on changes in the ecosystem.

Historically, with ongoing geographic changes due to climate change and overpopulation, it has been difficult to access detailed and up-to-date ecosystem change data to document how much of a region is covered by different types of land and water, such as wetlands. land, forests, crops, trees, buildings, etc.

However, with this new tool, Google wants to solve this problem through a partnership with the World Resources Institute (WRI). With Dynamic World we will be able to watch changes occurring almost in real time in all ecosystems.

We leave you a link so you can take a look at the website and explore for yourself how the passage of time has affected your area.

Based on artificial intelligence and cloud computing, they manage to evaluate whether a pixel or, equivalently, 100 m2 is covered by water, forest, floor or cultivated land, among many other categories.

Providing this data so quickly makes it easier for researchers and environmentalists to protect our planet. With this tool, for example, you can do much more comprehensive monitoring of the polar ice caps or how mass urbanization is slowly destroying everything.

Prior to this, ground maps were delivered on a monthly basis, with changes that could be made during that time between data collection and evaluation.

With Dynamic World we will also be able to learn how a fire develops and how much land it consumes a few seconds after this happens, and thus at a glance assess the measures to be taken into account.

Observing the rapid growth of agricultural land, he showed their scarcity and, therefore, the need to look for smarter, more environmentally friendly and more sustainable methods of using them.

Google is making Dynamic World available as a free and open dataset.
