Example Sentences

"The Arctic is warming four times faster than the rest of the globe, and permafrost is a component of the Arctic that's changing really rapidly," said Evan Thaler, a Chick Keller Postdoctoral Fellow at Los Alamos National Laboratory.

Thaler is corresponding author of a paper published in the journal Earth and Space Science on an innovative application of AI to permafrost data.

"Current models don't give the resolution needed to understand how permafrost thaw is changing the environment and affecting infrastructure," Thaler said.

"It's the highest accuracy pan-arctic product to date, but it obviously isn't good enough for site-specific predictions," Thaler said.

Thaler said the team will do additional work on the AI algorithms to improve the model's transferability to other areas across the Arctic.
