Glacial Recognition: A Q&A with Glaciologist Enze Zhang
By Freja Cini & Constantino Panagopulos GEOPHYSICS Q&A Enze Zhang is the author of AutoTerm, a computer program that uses artificial intelligence to recognize the ocean-facing edges of glaciers — known as the terminus — in satellite images. Zhang’s terminus-recognition technology is providing advance reconnaissance of Greenland’s glaciers for an upcoming research expedition led by… Continue Reading Glacial Recognition: A Q&A with Glaciologist Enze Zhang
