Online data entry Jobs in New Orleans, LA

Overview Current projections of sea level rise aren’t precise enough and potential solutions to mitigate the contributions of land based glaciers to sea level rise are underexplored.

We aim to fund and accelerate existing research by increasing investments in Antarctic science as well as by internally developing accurate forecasts of sea level rise and the expected behavior of Antarctic glaciers.

To achieve this we leverage state of the art computational methods combining physics and AI on remote sensing and field data. This role specifically is for the internal development of data driven physics and machine learning methods.

Climate change is destabilizing marine ice sheets, creating a risk of catastrophic sea-level rise over the next century.

Arête Glacier Initiative is a new nonprofit initiative dedicated to understanding this risk and assessing the efficacy, safety, and feasibility of potential interventions to stabilize ice sheets.

We aim to fund, coordinate, and accelerate research to enable informed and legitimate societal decisions regarding these interventions.
