🌧️Extreme rainfall is intensifying in West Africa. From 2019–23, several coastal areas saw 60+ heavy-rain days per monsoon period. Clusters of intense rain days push infrastructure past design limits and raise flood risks.

🚀 Exciting news! The GeoAI Python package just got a major upgrade. It now supports interactive geospatial data visualization powered by AI Agents. 🌍✨
GitHub: github.com/opengeos/geoai
Full tutorial: youtube.com/@giswqs/videos
🌍 In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to build interactive maps powered by AI agents that respond to natural language queries. Watch how you can fly to any city, add raster or vector layers, visualize 3D buildings, and explore geospatial data—all without writing code. Perfect for developers, researchers, and anyone curious about AI, GIS, and interactive mapping.

📊🌡️ A new study in @ScienceMagazine reveals an unexpected finding: #Heat disproportionately kills the young, not the elderly, with people under 35 accounting for 87% of heat-related lost life years in Mexico.

Nature-based solutions (NBS) have a lot to offer sub-Saharan Africa, like:
☀️Reduced extreme heat.
💧Improved water security.
🌱New green jobs.
A new report from WRI and @WorldBank via @GFDRR shows where NBS has already taken root, and what's needed to scale. Read more: go.wri.org/nbsx

It’s no surprise that large language models like ChatGPT are helpful for coding. What makes gptstudio stand out is how it brings that help directly into RStudio through a clean, user-friendly add-in.
gptstudio is an R package that integrates ChatGPT into RStudio, allowing you to generate code, explain functions, and write documentation using natural language, all without leaving your IDE. It supports various OpenAI models and offers an add-in panel that works like a built-in assistant.
This tool is especially useful when you're experimenting, writing boilerplate code, or just need quick answers while staying in your flow.
Advantages of using the gptstudio package:
✔️ Seamless integration into RStudio via an add-in panel
✔️ Helps generate and explain R code using plain language prompts
✔️ Supports multiple OpenAI models, including GPT-3.5 and GPT-4
✔️ Useful for both beginners and experienced users looking to speed up their workflow
