ORNL Researchers Use AI to Map Arctic Vegetation

Originally published at: ORNL Researchers Use AI to Map Arctic Vegetation | NVIDIA Technical Blog

Because of climate change, vegetation zones in Alaska and the pan-arctic are shifting. This shift could affect ecosystem factors such as carbon cycling, permafrost dynamics, and fire regimes. To help generate up-to-date vegetation maps that account for these shits, a team of scientists from Oak Ridge National Laboratory developed a deep learning-based method that can…
