EO4GHRO: A MULTI-SENSOR SYNTHESIS FOR THE SPATIOTEMPORAL QUANTIFICATION OF NEAR-SURFACE DENSITY ACROSS THE GREENLAND ICE SHEET

Prime company: Technical University of Denmark (DK)

Expected sea-level rise through the remainder of the 21st century has been primarily attributed to the continued melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS). This loss of ice not only directly threatens coastal infrastructure around Europe but precipitates second-order effects such as proliferation of diseases, crop instability and increased health stressors. Therefore, there is a …

UAV OBSERVATIONS OF BRDF AND ALBEDO OVER SEA ICE AND SNOW – UAV-OBASIS

Prime company: FINNISH METEOROLOGICAL INSTITUTE (FI)

Surface albedo controls the absorption of sunlight and its reflection back to the atmosphere and space. The bright, highly reflecting surfaces such as seasonal snow cover and sea ice cover that expand to cover large areas during winter and shrink in coverage during summer have high impact on the surface energy balance of the Earth. …

AI4ARCTIC

Prime company: NORWEGIAN COMPUTING CENTER NORSK REGNESENTRAL (NO)

The AI for the Arctic (AI4ARCTIC) project applies deep learning, in particular deep convolutional neural networks, for Earth observation applications within the cryosphere, focusing on sea ice and snow. The project trains deep-learning systems from relevant training data, and tests and demonstrates the capability of deep learning by applying it to large-scale inference of cryosphere-related …
