First Pan-Arctic Wetland Inventory (PAWI) maps 20% of region at 10m resolution

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new high-resolution wetland inventory for the Pan-Arctic region, named PAWI, has been developed using satellite imagery and machine learning. This inventory distinguishes between various wetland types like bogs, fens, swamps, and marshes at a 10-meter spatial resolution. PAWI estimates that wetlands cover approximately 20% of the Arctic landmass and provides a crucial baseline for methane modeling, climate vulnerability assessments, and conservation planning. AI

IMPACT Provides a foundational dataset for climate and methane modeling, potentially improving AI-driven environmental analysis.
