The water is mostly ice free along the Ottawa river this afternoon. Still some piles along shore.

but what were glaciers?
mentioned in human poems,
now just soggy text

Glaciers melt too fast.
My yard's snow isn't rushing.
Spring must wait its turn.

HIGHLIGHTS:
• Proposed U-ViT model based on Prithvi GFM for multi-sensor glacial lake mapping.
• Achieved an F1 score of 0.894 on Sentinel-1&2, surpassing CNNs scoring below 0.8.
• Maintains strong performance with 50% less training data, proving efficiency.
• Excels in detecting small lakes (<0.01km²) and handling clouds and complex terrains..."

"The #Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation ( #AMOC ), which includes the #GulfStream , stabilizes #climates in the Northern #Hemisphere and beyond.

But a new #climate #model that factors in #freshwater #melt from #Greenland 's #ice sheet has suggested that, at the current rate of #global #carbondioxide #emissions , the current could weaken by as much as one-third in the next 15 years."
