Description of the research subject

The DEEPICE project aims to develop an automated workflow combining glacial geomorphology, remote sensing, DEM analysis and deep learning to detect and analyse subglacial bedforms at large scale. The resulting database will support reconstructions of former ice-sheet dynamics, ice-flow patterns and meltwater pathways, with the Laurentide Ice Sheet as a proof of concept.

Planning research project

The postdoctoral researcher will contribute to: (i) selecting and preprocessing DEM and satellite datasets (ArcticDEM, Sentinel/Landsat or equivalents); (ii) building and documenting a training/validation dataset from annotated subglacial bedforms; (iii) designing, training, optimizing and assessing deep-learning detection/segmentation models; (iv) producing a database of outlines and morphometric parameters for subglacial bedforms across sectors of the Laurentide Ice Sheet; (v) carrying out spatial and multivariate analyses for palaeoglaciological interpretation.
