Researchers from GFW; the University of Wisconsin-Madison; Duke University; University of California, Santa Barbara; and SkyTruth analysed 2m gigabytes of satellite imagery between 2017 and 2021 to detect vessels and offshore infrastructure in coastal waters across six continents, where 75% of industrial activity is concentrated.
Researchers have recently found a way to shine a light on ocean activity that was once conducted in the shadows. A new study published in the journal Nature was spearheaded with Global Fishing Watch (GFW), alongside researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Duke University, University of California Santa Barbara, and SkyTruth. In it, they combined satellite imagery, vessel GPS data and artificial intelligence to map industrial vessel activity and offshore energy infrastructure across the world from 2017 to 202
The Wisconsin GOP forced the state to slash DEI programs in order to receive critical funding for the University of Wisconsin system, and the GOP-led state Assembly passed a bill that bans financial aid based on race and other forms of diversity. The right’s racist crusade against campus inclusivity is showing no sign of slowing down.
It’s ironic to say the least that the side that has made its entire identity about opposing cancel culture has now adopted it wholesale. Indeed, they used to be silent when students were chanting heinous things—like when a white student went on a anti-Black tirade at the University of Wisconsin-Madison last year. The video went viral, and many students wanted the woman to be expelled, yet the university did nothing because according to their statement on the matter, “the university can’t limit what students and faculty post to their personal social media accounts and can’t take action against posts that are not unlawful.
Calls for her resignation grew in the following weeks after dozens of plagiarism allegations, first reported on by The Washington Free Beacon, were unearthed, including this claim: “In a 2001 article, Gay lifts nearly half a page of material verbatim from another scholar, David Canon, a political science professor at the University of Wisconsin.”
Even some scholars whom Gay has been accused of plagiarizing have dismissed the allegations, including David Canon, a political science professor at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Gay has been accused of using nearly verbatim language from Canon’s 1999 book in an article she published in 2001.
The letter, penned by Universities of Wisconsin President Jay Rothman, told Gow of his termination after it was discovered Gow and his wife produced pornographic content.
Jonathan Martin, professor in the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at UW-Madison, points to a “robust” El Niño, which refers to a warming of the ocean’s surface, or above-average surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean.
Courtney Bell, a UW-Madison professor and director of the Wisconsin Center for Education Research, said evaluating students on how well they meet specific standards has always been part of the grading process. Although grades might show up differently on report cards now, Bell said standards-based learning dates back to the 1980s.
