Use of Very High Spatial Resolution Commercial Satellite Imagery and Deep Learning to Automatically Map Ice-Wedge Polygons across Tundra Vegetation Types [PDF]
Journal of Imaging, 2020 We developed a high-throughput mapping workflow, which centers on deep learning (DL) convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithms on high-performance distributed computing resources, to automatically characterize ice-wedge polygons (IWPs) from sub-meter

Microtopographic control on the ground thermal regime in ice wedge polygons [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2018 The goal of this research is to constrain the influence of ice wedge polygon microtopography on near-surface ground temperatures. Ice wedge polygon microtopography is prone to rapid deformation in a changing climate, and cracking in the ice wedge ...

Understanding the Effects of Optimal Combination of Spectral Bands on Deep Learning Model Predictions: A Case Study Based on Permafrost Tundra Landform Mapping Using High Resolution Multispectral Satellite Imagery [PDF]
Journal of Imaging, 2020 Deep learning (DL) convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been rapidly adapted in very high spatial resolution (VHSR) satellite image analysis. DLCNN-based computer visions (CV) applications primarily aim for everyday object detection from standard ...

10,000 years of centennially-resolved climate and sea-level change archived in Svalbard beach-ridge system [PDF]
Scientific ReportsOver the last 10,000 years, no fewer than 178 beach-ridges were formed and preserved at Bjonasletta in central Spitsbergen, recording shifts in relative sea-level and fluctuations in glacier- and sea ice extent.

New insights into the drainage of inundated ice-wedge polygons using fundamental hydrologic principles [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2021 The pathways and timing of drainage from the inundated centers of ice-wedge polygons in a warming climate have important implications for carbon flushing, advective heat transport, and transitions from methane to carbon dioxide dominated emissions. Here,
