Introduces BoreaRL, a multi-objective reinforcement learning environment for climate-adaptive boreal forest management. Boreal forests store 30-40% of terrestrial carbon, much in climate-vulnerable permafrost soils. The authors show carbon sequestration goals are easier to optimize than permafrost preservation, and that effective policies must balance species composition and density to protect permafrost while maintaining carbon gains.

Earth Map is an innovative, free and open-source tool developed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in the framework of the FAO - Google partnership. It was created to support countries, research institutes, farmers and members of the general public with internet access to monitor their land in an easy, integrated and multi-temporal manner. It allows everyone to visualize, process and analyze satellite imagery and global datasets on climate, vegetation, fires, biodiversity, geo-social and other topics. Users need no prior knowledge of remote sensing or Geographical Information Systems (GIS).
