Global environmental monitoring via advanced technology

Overview

Researchers are increasingly employing advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence and satellite imagery, to monitor environmental changes and ice loss across different regions.

In Chile, studies of the Pío XI Glacier involve the use of ablation beacons and thermal sensors to track mass balance, particularly as the glacier has shown unusual patterns of advancement and deceleration. Meanwhile, in the Arctic, scientists are using satellite data to track permafrost thaw by monitoring the formation of thermokarst ponds. This geological monitoring is being paired with biological research into foraminifera, which serve as bioindicators for ocean temperature and chemistry.
