This research aim to evaluate hydro-meteorological data from the Yamuna River Basin, Uttarakhand, India, utilizing Extreme Value Distribution of Frequency Analysis and the Markov Chain Approach. This method assesses persistence and allows for combinatorial probability estimations such as initial and transitional probabilities. The hydrologic data was generated (in-situ) and received from Uttara…
Emeralds – the green colored variety of beryl – occur as gem-quality specimens in over fifty deposits globally. While digital traceability methods for emerald have limitations, sample-based approaches offer robust alternatives, particularly for determining the geographic origin of emerald. Three factors make emerald suitable for provenance studies and hence for developing models for origin …
Magnitude estimation is a critical task in seismology, and conventional methods usually require dense seismic station arrays to provide data with sufficient spatiotemporal distribution. In this context, we propose the Earthquake Graph Network (EQGraphNet) to enhance the performance of single-station magnitude estimation. The backbone of the proposed model consists of eleven convolutional neural…
Fluctuations in oil prices adversely affect decision making situations in which performance forecasting must be combined with realistic price forecasts. In periods of significant price drops, companies may consider extended duration of well shut-ins (i.e. temporarily stopping oil production) for economic reasons. For example, prices during the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic forced operator…
Accurately and efficiently predicting the permeability of porous media is essential for addressing a wide range of hydrogeological issues. However, the complexity of porous media often limits the effectiveness of individual prediction methods. This study introduces a novel Particle Swarm Optimization-based Permeability Integrated Prediction model (PSO-PIP), which incorporates a particle swarm o…
Machine learning (ML) algorithms are frequently used in landslide susceptibility modeling. Different data handling strategies may generate variations in landslide susceptibility modeling, even when using the same ML algorithm. This research aims to compare the combinations of inventory data handling, cross validation (CV), and hyperparameter tuning strategies to generate landslide susceptibilit…
Alteration minerals and silicification are typically associated with a variety of ore mineralizations and could be detected using multispectral remote sensing sensors as indicators for mineral exploration. In this investigation, the Visible Near-Infra-Red (VNIR), Short-Wave Infra-Red (SWIR), and Thermal Infra-Red (TIR) bands of the ASTER satellite sensor derived layers were fused to detect alte…
Since its arrival in late November 2022, ChatGPT-3.5 has rapidly gained popularity and significantly impacted how research is planned, conducted, and published using a generative artificial intelligence approach. ChatGPT-4 was released four months later and became more popular in November 2023. However, there is little study about the perception of scientists of these chatbots, especially in so…
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in using artificial intelligence (AI) for rainfall-runoff modelling, as it has shown promising adaptability in this context. The current study involved the use of six distinct AI models to simulate monthly rainfall-runoff modelling in the Bardha watershed, India. These models included the artificial neural network (ANN), k-nearest neighbour reg…
Porosity, tortuosity, specific surface area (SSA), and permeability are four key parameters of reactive transport modeling in sandstone, which are important for understanding solute transport and geochemical reaction processes in sandstone aquifers. These four parameters reflect the characteristics of pore structure of sandstone from different perspectives, and the traditional empirical formula…
