Researchers at the British Antarctic Survey have developed an artificial intelligence system that can automatically track icebergs throughout their entire lifecycle, from formation to fragmentation and melting, across oceans around the world.
The tool uses satellite imagery to identify individual icebergs, assign them unique identities, and follow them over time as they drift.
Crucially, when a large iceberg breaks apart, the system can trace the resulting fragments back to their original source, effectively reconstructing detailed iceberg “family trees.”
