We are happy and excited to announce that the Green Urban Scenarios (GUS) Framework of @Trees_AI is now open-source! greenurbanscenarios.com What is GUS and what is it for? Thread.

Tempelhofer Feld, Berlin: The GUS simulation below captures the complexity of forest growth. Then translates these into clear metrics for carbon sequestration, cooling effects, water retention, and biodiversity impact. *every "what if" deserves a scientific "here's how."

What if we could transform Berlin's contested Tempelhofer Feld into a thriving forest? Watch how GUS simulates decades of tree growth in minutes, revealing the full story of carbon, cooling, water, air quality & biodiversity impacts. Nature meets science. 🌳🧪 Video in 🧵

We're excited to share the latest results of our collaboration with @IBMResearch , SFTC, @Trees_AI and @UKRI_News. GUS is helping Glasgow tackle flood risks through smart urban forestry. Check out the post below for Nature-based solutions in action!

The simulation of trees over 50 years, revealing health trends, carbon sequestration, and storage progress in different scenarios on run.gus.earth - you can now run hypothetical and real scenarios. @LucidmindsAI @Trees_AI

Thrilled to spotlight gus.earth (GUS) in action in Stuttgart! 🌳 we're harnessing AI to assess climate risks & enhance urban green spaces, showcasing how nature-based solutions can be strategically implemented to combat climate challenges.

Tomorrow at @DataWeekLeipzig we'll introduce our novel Green Urban Scenarios (GUS) Framework of @Trees_AI Together with Sebastian Klemm we will be speaking about how TreesAI/GUS can assist cities worldwide in their journey towards achieving climate neutrality.

Es geht weiter mit einer Session rund um den Weg zu einer CO2-neutralen Stadt, moderiert von Julia Schließauf @StadtLeipzig und Oguzhan Yayla @LucidmindsAI, Sebastian Klemm @DarkMatter_Labs, Andrea Hensel @StadtLeipzig, Falk Wittmann und Dr. Tilman Hartwig @Umweltbundesamt.

Today PhDs, supervisors and non academic partners will be working shoulder to shoulder on #datacommons #prototeams 💪💪💪 @Dcode_EU @OpenFutureEU @acrcedincare @AMS_institute @LucidmindsAI @ClearboxAI

For long readers, the Whitepaper: drive.google.com/file/d/1KS9Pmt…

The Proof of Circularity is an important novel mechanism that we are introducing in this paper. The mechanism is intended to create a set of incentives as well as increase transparency in verification of recycling efficiency.

There is a need for a transformational change pioneered by fashion designers and supported by consumers. Recent studies around a Climate Positive action foresee that a goal of 35-45% reduced CO2 emissions from textile fiber and material production by 2030 is possible.

In this first post, Seowoo Nam (@nam_seowoo) introduces why we started this project by discussing the importance of taking more-than-human values and perspectives in designing technologies for governing forests.@Trees_AI

By giving voices to flora and fauna inhabiting the forests through simulation, Green Urban Scenarios will help generate futures where plural modes of urban forest can coexist: forests as infrastructure, habitat, food source, shelter, and many more.

How can we design urban forests as infrastructure for the planet, not only for us, humans? How do we know our interventions are good for all?
