This article talks about Scion's Forest Flows Programme collaboration with The University of Waikato's TAIAO Programme, led by Albert Bifet, to use cutting edge machine learning and artificial intelligence methodologies to analyse the Big Data being collected by thousands of Forest Flows sensors, in real time. This novel intersection of environmental science and computer science will provide new insights into water quantity and quality from NZ's planted forests and for downstream users. Both programmes are funded separately by the NZ Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment.
