This study aims to establish a scientific and methodological basis for predicting shoreline positions using modern data analysis and machine learning techniques. The focus area is a 5 km section of the Ural coast along Baydaratskaya Bay in the Kara Sea. This region was selected due to its diverse geomorphological features, varied lithological composition, and significant presence of permafrost …
Frosts are one of the atmospheric phenomena with one of the larger negative effects on the agricultural sector in the southern region of Brazil, therefore, an earlier forecast can minimize their impacts. In the present work, artificial neural networks (ANNs) techniques were applied in order to improve the predicting capabilities of frost events in southern Brazil. In the study, two multilayer p…
Rock glaciers (RG) are landforms that occur in high latitudes or elevations and — in their active state — consist of a mixture of rock debris and ice. Despite serving as a form of groundwater storage, they are an indicator for the occurrence of (former) permafrost and therefore carry significance in the research for the ongoing climate change. For these reasons, the past years have shown ri…
