AI tool predicts Arctic sea ice loss caused by climate change
It could help local people adapt to future changes
AI takes on global warming
The Arctic has warmed at around two to three times the rate of the global average. As a result, the size of sea ice in the summer is half of what it was just 40 years ago.
The decline is having a huge impact on local people and wildlife. IceNet could help them adapt to future changes by providing early warnings about the timing and locations of sea ice loss. Perthe study paper:
The researchers are now investigating whether adding ice thickness to IceNet’s inputs improves its accuracy. They will also implement an online version of the tool that operates on a daily temporal resolution, which could enhance performance at short lead times.
The system will not preventglobal warming, but it could at least mitigate some of the damage.
