Supported by an Early-Concept Grant for Exploratory Research from the National Science Foundation, Steve Kannenberg, assistant professor of biology in the WVU Eberly College of Arts and Sciences, is integrating AI directly into local monitoring sensors to help scientists track ecosystem health in near real time.
Every day, forests, grasslands, and ecosystems around the world “breathe,” constantly trading carbon, water, and energy with the atmosphere, Kannenberg explained.
