Finished map for the known, explored world of Saventviet, the setting within my story and the regions of interest within it.

TBB borrows inspiration from a large array of vintage styles, from early 20th to mid century aesthetics, but for this map I wanted to portray it in a medieval European style complete with crude drawings of real (in universe) deities within the seas, scattered along Ashen borders.

While not a contemporary style within the world, nor is it employed by militias or governments within the world or their armies usage, it still sees widespread personal, educational, and general use given Saventviet as it stands, was only founded in the (relative) recent history of the world.

The arts and culture of the world has still not had ample time to thrive beyond a point or at least, to a degree that its widespread in many nations plagued with centuries of war.

The arts of old and much of the ancient world in Saventviet capture imaginations, things like this map, I imagine many people have solace in the old and bygone wonders and relics of the magical realm because it's only that that offers a consistent comfort for many in the clutches of war's shadow.

AI and Historical Maps Unite to Locate Abandoned Oil Wells

The Hidden Legacy of Abandoned Wells

AI and Historical Maps are proving to be a game-changer in identifying and addressing the environmental hazards posed by undocumented orphaned wells (UOWs). The United States is grappling with the environmental consequences of its long history of oil and gas extraction, particularly in the form of undocumented orphaned wells (UOWs). These abandoned wells, many of which have been left without a responsible operator or official documentation, pose significant threats to both the environment and public health. From methane emissions that accelerate climate change to the contamination of water supplies with toxic substances, the dangers are clear. Yet, pinpointing the locations of these hidden relics, estimated to number between 310,000 and 800,000, has long been a daunting challenge.

Combining AI and Historical Maps to Find UOWs

Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have provided a promising solution to the problem of locating orphaned wells. In a groundbreaking project, researchers have turned to historical maps, some dating back as far as 1884, to help identify the sites of former oil and gas operations. These topographic maps, digitized by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), offer valuable insights into early drilling activities. The challenge, however, is sorting through vast archives of these old maps.

Fabio Ciulla, a postdoctoral fellow at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, has been instrumental in leveraging AI to analyze these maps. By using a U-Net convolutional neural network, an AI algorithm designed to recognize oil well symbols, researchers can now identify potential UOW locations with remarkable accuracy. The system was trained on manually labeled maps and applied to regions with significant oil production histories, such as Kern and Los Angeles counties in California, and Osage and Oklahoma counties in Oklahoma. In these areas, the AI identified over 1,300 potential orphaned wells.

Verifying AI Findings and Expanding Detection Efforts

While AI has proven effective in identifying potential well sites, verification remains a critical step. Researchers use satellite images and historical aerial photos to search for visual signs of abandoned wells, such as pump jacks or storage tanks. In cases where surface evidence is lacking, magnetometers are deployed to detect buried metal well casings. The accuracy of the AI is impressive, with wells being located within an average of 10 meters of their predicted positions.

AI and Historical Maps represent a significant leap over traditional approaches, such as manual record searches or on-the-ground surveys, which are often slow and geographically limited. However, the project doesn’t stop at map analysis. As part of the Consortium Advancing Technology for Assessment of Lost Oil & Gas Wells (CATALOG), the effort includes a range of advanced tools, such as drones equipped with methane sensors and magnetometers, to detect leaks and locate buried wells. Additionally, researchers are working on cost-effective solutions to monitor methane emissions, an essential step in mitigating the environmental impact of orphaned wells.

The CATALOG initiative is also tapping into citizen science, encouraging individuals to use smartphone magnetometers to help locate abandoned wells. This crowdsourced approach expands the reach of detection technologies, providing valuable data while complementing professional surveys.

A Cleaner Future Through Collaboration and Innovation

The AI and Historical Maps-driven efforts spearheaded by CATALOG offer a glimmer of hope in addressing the legacy of America’s oil boom. By integrating historical data with modern technology, the project not only improves the accuracy of orphaned well detection but also lays the groundwork for more effective remediation. Collaboration with local communities, including Native American tribes and environmental agencies, is crucial to the initiative’s success. As researchers continue to refine their techniques, they are not only tackling the immediate environmental risks posed by orphaned wells but also contributing to broader climate mitigation efforts.

As Sebastien Biraud, a scientist at Berkeley Lab, notes, finding solutions to limit emissions is essential for the future. By combining AI, cutting-edge sensors, and community involvement, researchers are uncovering a hidden legacy of the nation’s energy history while paving the way for a cleaner and safer future.

„Földabrosz” néven új digitális tartalomszolgáltatást indítunk. Folyamatosan bővülő adatbázisunk jelenleg csaknem ezer, 1850 előtt nyomtatott hazai és külföldi térképet tartalmaz, amelynek jelentős része a 18. században készült, de több 17. századi kiadás is gazdagítja a könyvtárunk alapítójától, gróf Széchényi Ferenctől származó gyűjteményt.

Célunk sokrétű gyűjteményünk közkinccsé tétele a lehető legszélesebb körben, kiemelt figyelemmel a középiskolai és a felsőfokú oktatásban résztvevők, valamint a kutatók igényeire. Kultúrkincseinket jó minőségben és szabad licenc alatt publikáljuk, azaz a forrás megjelölésével szabadon hozzáférhetővé, letölthetővé és felhasználhatóvá tesszük. A célzott kereséshez többszempontú keresőrendszer áll rendelkezésre; a böngészni vágyók földrajzi elhelyezkedés (világ, Európa, Magyarország, távoli tájak) és tematikus csoportosítás (történelmi, hadtörténelmi, város-, hajózási és általános térképek) szerint is válogathatnak.
