AI Can Help Track the World’s Shrinking Glaciers

Summary

Tracking how fast glaciers are shrinking is crucial for measuring the pace of climate change and projecting future sea level rises. This is normally a painstaking manual job, but a new approach that enables AI to analyze satellite images of glaciers anywhere in the world could help automate the monitoring process.Glaciers that flow directly into the ocean play a crucial role in the earth’s climate, but global warming is making them retreat ever faster. This can have severe knock-on effects as ic
