UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa., June 16 -- Pennsylvania State University issued the following news release:
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Communities around the world have adapted to live on the year-round frozen soil of frigid environments, such as in the Arctic. However, rising temperatures have introduced a new challenge: What happens when the ground under houses and roads begins to melt?
To better understand how these environments are changing, an interdisciplinary team of engineers and geoscientists led by researchers at Penn State has developed a computational framework that can use real-time measurements and artificial intelligence (AI) to predict the physical properties of the frozen soil, called permafrost. In one of the first studies of its kind...
