Behind the scenes, the system connects to the NCSA Delta Supercomputer, to the Arctic Lab&#8217;s Kubernetes Cluster, and to AWS (Amazon Web Services), leveraging complex workflows to parallelize distributed jobs across many machines at once. <em>DOI Link:<\/em> <a class=\"publish_link_FBzWV publish_external_6f-Tu\" style=\"background-color: #ffffff\" href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.acags.2026.100322\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.acags.2026.100322<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 43.7623%\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/arctic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2026\/05\/April-26-3-Paper-Announcement-7.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1393 \" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/arctic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2026\/05\/April-26-3-Paper-Announcement-7-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"440\" height=\"440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/arctic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2026\/05\/April-26-3-Paper-Announcement-7-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/arctic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2026\/05\/April-26-3-Paper-Announcement-7-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/arctic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2026\/05\/April-26-3-Paper-Announcement-7-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/arctic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2026\/05\/April-26-3-Paper-Announcement-7-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/arctic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2026\/05\/April-26-3-Paper-Announcement-7.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 440px) 100vw, 440px\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 56.2377%\"><strong>&#8220;LiDAR-Based Road Surface Damage Classification: A Survey&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Published in MDPI&#8217;s Sensors Journal in April, and reviews how LiDAR (a technology that uses laser pulses to measure surface shapes in 3D) can do a better job than regular cameras at spotting road damage in shadows, bright sunlight, or when colors are blended. Such detection can prevent serious transportation issues (such as along the Alaskan Dalton highway), which can occur when road surface damage goes unnoticed. The paper details how data was collected from vehicles or stationary scanners, how computers are trained to recognize cracks and potholes, and how LiDAR can be combined with other sensors for better accuracy. <em>DOI Link:<\/em><a class=\"publish_link_FBzWV publish_external_6f-Tu\" style=\"background-color: #ffffff\" href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/s26082338\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/s26082338<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 43.7623%\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/arctic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2026\/05\/April-26-3-Paper-Announcement-8.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1395 \" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/arctic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2026\/05\/April-26-3-Paper-Announcement-8-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"429\" height=\"429\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/arctic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2026\/05\/April-26-3-Paper-Announcement-8-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/arctic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2026\/05\/April-26-3-Paper-Announcement-8-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/arctic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2026\/05\/April-26-3-Paper-Announcement-8-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/arctic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2026\/05\/April-26-3-Paper-Announcement-8-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/arctic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2026\/05\/April-26-3-Paper-Announcement-8.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 429px) 100vw, 429px\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 56.2377%\"><strong>&#8220;Creation and Evaluation of the Arctic Data Visualization Environment: an XR System for Geospatial Data Exploration in Cesium&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Published in Springer&#8217;s Virtual Reality journal in April and details the UND Arctic Lab&#8217;s\/UND DREAM Lab&#8217;s Arctic Data Visualization Environment (ADVE): a virtual reality system enabling users to explore detailed 3D versions of real Arctic locations.
