A team of researchers at the University of Alaska Fairbanks has developed a new method to track glacier melt using satellite imagery. The method, which was published in the journal Remote Sensing, uses machine learning to identify and track changes in glacier surface area. The researchers believe that the method could be used to monitor glacier health and assess the impact of climate change on glaciers worldwide. Glaciers are an important source of freshwater for many communities around the world. They also play a role in regulating climate and sea level. However, glaciers are melting at an alarming rate due to climate change. This is causing a number of problems, including water shortages, increased flooding, and sea level rise. The new method developed by the University of Alaska Fairb...
