Machine Learning for predicting Ice Shelves Vulnerability
In this post, you will learn about usage of machine learning for predicting ice shelves vulnerability. Before getting into the details, lets understand what is ice shelves vulnerability and how it is impacting global warming / climate change. What are ice shelves? Ice shelves are permanent floating sheets of ice that connect to a landmass. Most of the world’s ice shelves hug the coast of Antarctica. Ice from enormous ice sheets slowly oozes into the sea through glaciers and ice streams. If the ocean is cold enough, that newly arrived ice doesn’t melt right away. Instead it may float on the surface and grow larger as glacial ice behind it continues to flow into the …
