We study glaciers. ‘Artificial glaciers’ and other tech may halt their total collapse

Professor Colin Meyer co-authors an opinion piece about technology advancements that can help stop total collapse of the world's glaciers. "Technologies we can bring to bear include satellite-based radar, solar-powered drones, robot submarines, lab-based 'artificial glaciers,' and advanced computing technologies, including artificial intelligence," he writes.

New Research From Dartmouth Shows How Underwater 'Storms' May Shape Glacier Melt

Professor Yoshihiro Nakayama is quoted about his research into storm-like ocean circulation patterns beneath Antarctic ice shelves that are causing glaciers to melt. "In oceanography, we normally look at time scales like months or years, because these processes are not super fast," Nakayama said. "But when we look into these processes over a few days, we realize that there are some processes that pick up the melt."

AI Coding Tools: The Productivity Trap Most Companies Miss

Professor Geoffrey Parker, faculty director of the Irving Institute for Energy and Society, talks about the effects of using generative AI in coding, particularly the creation of complex code that can have more bugs and be more difficult to fix. "The danger is you sort of push the accelerator and then you're getting a lot of things done and then all of a sudden the complexity starts to go up. And then things start to entangle and you get a lot of spaghetti, and then you bog down," Parker said.

Unprecedented Underwater Storms Accelerate the Collapse of Key Glaciers in Antarctica

Professor Yoshihiro Nakayama is quoted about his research into storm-like ocean circulation patterns beneath Antarctic ice shelves that are causing glaciers to melt. "We are observing the ocean in very short time scales, similar to those of the weather. This is unusual for Antarctic studies," Nakayama said.

Underwater ‘storms’ are eating away at the Doomsday Glacier. It could have big impacts on sea level rise.

Professor Yoshihiro Nakayama speaks about the storm-like ocean circulation patterns under Antarctic ice shelves that is causing glaciers to melt. "We are looking at the ocean on very short 'weather-like' timescales, which is unusual for Antarctic studies," Nakayama says.
