Using satellite images of #Antarctica, an EPFL team has trained a deep learning model to recognize "blue ice" with certainty. The blue ice indicates the presence of meteorites. A research led by Veronica Tollenaar Université libre de Bruxelles and devistuia. actu.epfl.ch/news/mapping-t…

Did you know that 60% of all meteorites ever collected on Earth were found in Antarctica? And did you know that the chances of finding such meteorites will rapidly decrease due to climate change? Check out the paper co-led by Veronica Tollenaar & Harry Zekollari: nature.com/articles/s4155….

Antarctic meteorites are sinking out of sight as the planet warms -- my newest story for The New York Times: nytimes.com/2024/04/08/cli… NYT Science

Thousands of meteorites could sink more quickly into Antarctic ice as a result of warming temperatures, accelerating the inaccessibility of many of these samples of extraterrestrial material, suggests a study published in NatureClimate. go.nature.com/3VPRkzZ

nature.com/articles/s4155… The consequences of climate change can be felt everywhere. In a study published in NatureClimate, we show how Antarctic meteorites are threatened by global warming. Every year, over 5000 meteorites are lost from the surface of the ice sheet. How? [1/7]

Roughly 60% of all known meteorites have been collected in Antarctica. But, as temperatures rise, thousands of meteorites will sink into the continent’s ice and disappear from sight every year before researchers can collect them, a new study found. nyti.ms/3TOOhFl

Climate change threatens Antarctic meteorites ☀️ Precious meteorites are rapidly disappearing from the ice sheet surface due to global warming. Thus, an unparalleled wealth of information on our Solar System. brnw.ch/21wIDpy #Antactic #Meteorites

New research co-led by group members @verotollenaar and @harryzeko shows how climate change threatens Antarctic #meteorites. Check it out through: nature.com/articles/s4155…

What do meteorites have to do with climate change? Veronica Tollenaar, Harry Zekollari et al show that ~5,000 meteorties become inaccessible per year as they melt into the Antarctic due to climate change go.nature.com/3U9knwV

In Antarctica, thousands of meteorites are melting through the ice. As #ClimateChange worsens, we may lose the majority of these valuable space rocks forever. Research from Veronica Tollenaar and Harry Zekollari, comments from Meenakshi Wadhwa. eos.org/articles/antar…

Meteorites that originate from different extraterrestrial bodies are an important source of knowledge for planetary science. More than 60% of the meteorites in current collections have been collected from Antarctica and it has been estimated that 300,000–850,000 meteorites
