Check out this infographic providing an overview of our vision to take open science to the next level and w atch for a series of new ARIES online infographics to be released throughout the following months! Learn more ARIES for SEEA Explorer The Statistics Division of the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA) and the UN Environment Program (UNEP), in collaboration with the international research and innovation platform Artificial Intelligence for Environment & Sustainability (ARIES) at the Basque Centre for Climate Change (BC3), have developed a pioneering Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered application for rapid natural capital accounting: the ARIES for SEEA Explorer! Learn more k.LAB’s remote engine is available online! Knowledge Laboratory (k.LAB) is the open-source software powering ARIES. It supports selection of the most appropriate data and models using cloud technology and following an open data paradigm: the resulting insight, in the same fashion, remains open and available to society at large, and becomes a base for further computations, contributing to an ever-increasing knowledge base.

Try it An adaptive modelling technology Keeping it simple, but realistic ARIES is an artificial intelligent modeller rather than a single model or collection of models. ARIES chooses ecological process models where appropriate, and turns to simpler models where process models do not exist or are inadequate. Based on a simple user query, ARIES builds all the agents involved in the nature/society interaction, connects them into a flow network, and creates the best possible models for each agent and connection. The result is a detailed, adaptive, and dynamic assessment of how nature provides benefits to people. ; Empowering urban heat resilience through ARIES In a recent paper published in the Science of the Total Environment journal, BC3 researchers Celina Aznarez and ARIES team members Sudeshna Kumar and Alba Márquez Torres explore the disparities in heat vulnerability and their implications for environmental justice. ...

In a compelling side event held during COP28 in Dubai, environmental experts and statisticians joined for a thought-provoking discussion on the seamless integration of natural capital accounting (NCA) and climate change considerations. Moderated by BC3’s scientific... Read More ARIES at UN Datathon 2023! The ARIES team participated in the latest UN Datathon 2023 in Montevideo, Uruguay, from November 3rd to 6th, where we hosted an intensive workshop on November 4th, attracting a diverse audience of around 20 participants! The workshop was structured into two sessions,... Read More Modelling on the semantic web ARIES is based on the radically novel k.LAB technology, which allows models and data to be contributed by independent researchers, hosted on a network, and automatically assembled into model workflows following a user’s simple. The technology, which can be applied beyond the field of ecosystem services, is the first operational example of semantically integrated, distributed, collaborative modelling. As an international network of scientific collaborators contribute data and models, the ARIES system grows by itself, and each new assessment automatically adopts the best data and models available. In the next year, users will be able to not only develop, but also run models directly from the world wide web, enabling a simple, two-step modeling workflow suitable for non-technical users, such as decision makers and their staff. Hightlights While work continues on ARIES’ web-based infrastructure that will enable more its independent use, ARIES is...
