Hackathon on Permafrost attracts more than 80 participants

The mountains are changing: permafrost is receding, rockslides can be the result. Over many years, Jan Beutel and Matthias Meyer from the Computer Engineering and Networks Laboratory (TIK) have collected a series of images and data that is unique in the world. They invited students and researchers to analyse them in a hackathon which took place in the CAB building over the week-end of November 28-30. It attracted around 85 students and staff members from various ETH departments.
