Introduction: In recent years, with global climate change, surface vegetation, ecosystems, water environment, growth of animals and plants have been affected to some extent. And the feedback effect of global climate change in the region is also obvious. With the development of remote sensing technology, regional drought monitoring research has been carried out. This has important guiding significance for changes in regional ecosystems, soil environment and surface vegetation.

Introduction: Climate crises threaten to displace 1.2 billion people by 2050, with the cost of adapting to these new threats estimated to reach the range of $280 billion to $500 billion per year. Vulnerable people and regions, including sub-Saharan Africa, will be disproportionately impacted. Yet climate-vulnerable countries have received minimal funding for adaptation to date. Early-warning and early-action systems have an essential role to play in enabling effective disaster-preparedness and response efforts.

Introduction: In our attempt to understand neural systems, it is useful to identify statistical principles that may be beneficial in neural information processing, outline how these principles may work in theory, and demonstrate the benefits through computational modelling and simulation. Negative correlation is one such principle, and is the subject of this work. The main body of the work falls into three parts. The first part demonstrates the space filling and accelerated central limit convergence benefits of negative correlation, both generally and in the specific neural context of V1 receptive fields. I outline two new algorithms combining traditional ICA with a correlation objective function.
