Initiative #59
Clustering to characterize extreme marine conditions for the benthic region of the Northeastern Pacific continental margin
Listed in the registry Pilot Original language : English
About the initiative
Description of the initiative
We introduce a method for characterizing extremes that uses machine learning to divide the data into regions with relatively consistent environmental conditions (temperature, oxygen, acidity), and define the extremes based on the historical statistics of variability of each of these fields. unsupervised clustering with k-means

- Purpose of the system, as declared
- This project developed a machine learning-based method to identify environmental extremes by segmenting data into regions with consistent conditions (e.g., temperature, oxygen, acidity). Extremes were defined based on historical variability within each region, enabling more targeted and context-aware analysis of environmental changes.
