“Artificial Intelligence for Cold Regions” (AI-CORE) is a collaborative project of the German Aerospace Center (DLR), the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI), the Technical University Dresden (TU Dresden), and is funded by the Helmholtz Foundation since early 2020. The project aims at developing artificial intelligence methods for addressing some of the most challenging research questions in remote sensing of the cryosphere. Rapidly changing ice sheets and thawing permafrost are big societal challenges, hence quantifying these changes and understanding the mechanisms are of major importance.
