IPCC Report: 10 Innovative ways people around the world are tackling climate change<\/strong><\/a>
\nThe IPCC report said global warming of about 1.1 degrees Celsius has brought changes worldwide, from droughts and storms to melting glaciers. But it is not too late to cut climate-heating emissions and keep the temperature rise within internationally agreed goals of “well below” 2C and ideally 1.5C – which would help stop or slow down some of the impacts, the report said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Disaster-mapping drones often neglect deadliest, costliest events and hardest-hit areas<\/a><\/strong>
\nEvery year, disasters kill an average of 60,000 people, affect 200 million and cause US$150 billion in damage. To combat these devastating impacts, governments and other stakeholders routinely rely on images captured by satellites and crewed aircraft for crucial tasks such as identifying and monitoring areas most at risk, evacuation routes, damage severity and extent, and recovery progress.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The role of data and information quality during disaster response decision-making<\/a><\/strong>
\nThe current paper addresses these issues by identifying how certain features of data and information quality function, to support specific, naturalistic decision-making processes during disaster response. These functions are used to revise and consolidate extant definitions of data and information quality, for use in the disaster response domain.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
