摘要: Contemporary digital technologies can make a profound impact on our understanding of the natural environment in moving toward sustainable futures. Examples such included sources new data (e.g., an environmental Internet Things), ability to storage and process large datasets that will result from this through cloud computing), potential science AI sense these alongside human experts. However, same trends pose threat futures through, for example, carbon footprint technology risks escalating very mentioned above.
