A team of researchers from Université libre de Bruxelles, Delft University of Technology and Vrije Universiteit Brussel used AI technology to find meteorites hidden in Antarctic ice. The group describes how their AI system ...
Glacier ice is usually thought of as brittle. You can drill a hole in an ice sheet, like into a rock, and glaciers crack and calve, leaving behind vertical ice cliffs.
