1. 主讲人简介

       Lin Liu is an Associate Professor of Earth and Environmental Sciences at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, where he also serves as the head of the Graduate Division of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences. He got his Ph.D. in Geophysics from University of Colorado at Boulder in 2011. Before joining CUHK in 2014, he was a George Thompson Postdoc Fellow at Stanford University. His research applies a wide range of geodetic, geophysical, remote sensing, and deep learning methods to the Earth‘s cryosphere systems including permafrost, glaciers, and ice sheets, aiming to quantify and understand their significant changes in a warming climate. He received the 2021 John Wahr Early Career Award from the American Geophysical Union.

2．内容简介
       In the era of big data and artificial intelligence, deep learning has emerged as an innovative and important tool in cryosphere remote sensing and modeling and has been applied to nearly all cryospheric components in the Arctic, Antarctica, and high mountain regions. In this talk, I will summarize the exciting and diverse applications of deep learning in remote sensing studies of the cryosphere. Even though most of the published studies in the past five years were demonstrative in nature, these early efforts have successfully proved the effectiveness, robustness, and generalization capability of deep learning in retrieving the patterns of spatial, temporal, and spectral signatures of the cryosphere in remote sensing data, characterizing cryospheric dynamics at local and regional scales. Through two case studies, I will demonstrate the success and limitations of using state-of-the-art deep learning algorithms in the processing of multi-temporal and multi-sensor remote sensing imagery for glacier and permafrost studies. I’ll end my talk with a call for close collaborations between cryosphere scientists and data/AI scientists for generating high-quality and large-quantity training data and establishing protocols and guidelines for fully utilizing the potential of deep learning for cryospheric studies.
