Regression on Ice: Function approximation for the mathematically-inclined glaciologist

17 Sep 2023 | Educational Materials | Contributor(s): Noah J Bergam

Modern satellite-based analysis of the ice sheets presents a profound statistical-geometric problem: how do we make sense of scattered, noisy measurements of vast, steadily evolving surfaces like the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets? In these lecture notes, I attempt to provide the...

15 May 2024 | Presentations | Contributor(s): Homayra Alam, Katherine Yi, Angelina Dewar, Tartela Tabassum, Jason Lu, Ray Chen, Omar Faruque, Sikan Li, Mathieu Morlighem

Abstract:The purpose of this research is to study how different machine learning and statistical models can be used to predict bedrock topography under the Greenland ice sheet using ice-penetrating radar and satellite imagery data. Accurate bed topography representations are crucial for...

Spread sheet to calculate tephra volume for exponential thinning

10 Apr 2015 | Offline Tools | Contributor(s): Manuel Nathenson, Judy Fierstein

An Excel spread sheet and instructions are provided to calculate tephra volume for exponential thinning on a log(thickness) versus square root of area plot. The spread sheet calculates volumes for a single straight line and for two straight lines. The equations for the calculations are from...

Tephra 2014 - Maximizing the potential of tephra for multidisciplinary science

09 Jan 2014 | Workshops | Contributor(s): Steven Kuehn, Solene Pouget, Marcus I Bursik

Tephra deposits are used by diverse communities: volcanologists, petrologists, tephrochronologists, paleoclimatologists, paleoecologists and archaeologists. To perhaps be too reductionist, volcanologists are generally interested in tephra to understand eruption behavior, frequency, and hazards;...

Tephra inversion with Tephra2 and the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm

21 Jun 2020 | Offline Tools | Contributor(s): Qingyuan Yang, E Bruce Pitman, Marcus I Bursik, Susanna Jenkins

We couple the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm (Hastings, 1970) with the volcanic ash transport model Tephra2 (Bonadonna et al, 2005; 2010), and present the coupled algorithm as a new method to estimate the Eruption Source Parameters (ESPs) of volcanic eruptions based on mass per unit area...
