Quantifying Causes of Arctic Amplification via Deep Learning based Time-series Causal Inference
23 Jul 2024 | Contributor(s):: Sahara Ali, Omar Faruque, Yiyi Huang, Aneesh Subramanian, Nicole-Jienne Shchlegel, Md Osman Gani, Jianwu Wang, Josephine Namayanja (contributor)
The warming of the Arctic, also known as Arctic amplification, is led by several atmospheric and oceanic drivers. However, the details of its underlying thermodynamic causes are still unknown. Inferring the causal effects of atmospheric processes on sea ice melt using fixed treatment effect...

Benchmarking probabilistic machine learning models for arctic sea ice forecasting
23 Jul 2024 | Contributor(s):: Sahara Ali, Seraj Mostafa, Xingyan Li, Sara Khanjani, Jianwu Wang, James Foulds, Vandana Janeja
The Arctic is a region with unique climate features, motivating new AI methodologies to study it. Unfortunately, Arctic sea ice has seen a continuous decline since 1979. This not only poses a significant threat to Arctic wildlife and surrounding coastal communities but is also adversely affecting...

MT-IceNet - A Spatial and Multi-Temporal Deep Learning Model for Arctic Sea Ice Forecasting
23 Jul 2024 | Contributor(s):: Sahara Ali, Jianwu Wang, Josephine Namayanja (contributor)
Arctic amplification has altered the climate patterns both regionally and globally, resulting in more frequent and more intense extreme weather events in the past few decades. The essential part of Arctic amplification is the unprecedented sea ice loss as demonstrated by satellite observations....
