Machine learning helps find Antarctic meteorites, new paper by PhD student Veronica Tollenaar (@FNRS) and Dr. Harry Zekollari in Science Advances read it here in open access. A fine collaboration @ULBruxelles, @VUBrussel, @TUdelft.
Antarctica in the best place to find meteorites, we have been collecting them there since 2009 with Japanese colleagues. This new paper shows that perhaps another 300,000 meteorites are waiting for us on the ice fields of the South Pole.
