About this tag
TealWaters is a conservation mapping initiative supported by Microsoft's AI for Good Lab. It uses the Wetland Intrinsic Potential (WIP) approach, combining lidar, topographic indices, and machine learning to detect small, seasonal, and forest-covered wetlands that conventional maps miss. The project focuses on high-resolution statewide mapping in Washington, aiming to improve carbon storage, flood buffering, and biodiversity protection. TealWaters highlights how AI and cloud-scale processing can reveal hidden ecosystems critical for environmental conservation.
