Flooding presents a formidable challenge in the United States, endangering lives and causing substantial economic damage, averaging around $5 billion annually. Addressing this issue and improving community resilience is imperative. This project employed machine learning techniques and publicly available data to explore the factors influencing flooding and to develop flood susceptibility maps at…
As critical transitional ecosystems, estuaries are facing the increasingly urgent threat of salt wedge intrusion, which impacts their ecological balance as well as human-dependent activities. Accurately predicting estuary salinity is essential for water resource management, ecosystem preservation, and for ensuring sustainable development along coastlines. In this study, we investigated the appl…
The complex interplay of various complicated meteorological and oceanic processes has made it more difficult to accurately predict Indian monsoon rainfall. A future-oriented and one of the most potential methods for predictive analytics is deep learning. The proposed work exploits empirical Mode Decomposition-Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (EMD-DFA) and long short-term memory (LSTM) deep neural…
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is an essential tool with growing applications in many fields. In petrophysics, it is common to use computed tomography in those simulations, but in medicine, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is also being used as a basis for structural information. Wormholes are high-permeability structures created by the acidification of carbonate reservoirs and can impact r…
This study aims to tackle the obstacles linked with geological image segmentation by employing sophisticated deep learning techniques. Geological formations, characterized by diverse forms, sizes, textures, and colors, present a complex landscape for traditional image processing techniques. Drawing inspiration from recent advancements in image segmentation, particularly in medical imaging and o…
An analytical method to automatically characterize rock samples for geological or petrological purposes is here proposed, by applying machine learning approach (ML) as a protocol for saving experimental times and costs. Proper machine learning algorithms, applied to automatically acquired microanalytical data (i.e., Electron Probe Micro Analysis, EPMA), carried out with a SEM-EDS microprobe on…
The emission of dust particles, mainly from arid and semi-arid lands, as a result of climate change and human activities, is known to be a global issue. Identifying dust emission sources is the first key step in dealing with the hazardous consequences of this rising phenomenon. This study is an attempt to address one of the major challenges in mapping dust emission sources. Accordingly, an inno…
Micro-CT, also known as X-ray micro-computed tomography, has emerged as the primary instrument for pore-scale properties study in geological materials. Several studies have used deep learning to achieve super-resolution reconstruction in order to balance the trade-off between resolution of CT images and field of view. Nevertheless, most existing methods only work with single-scale CT scans, ign…
Studying the changes in seismicity, and the potential of the occurrences of large earthquakes in a seismic zone is not only extremely important from the aspect of seismological research, but it is additionally significant in the decisions of crisis management. Since, nowadays Machine learning techniques have proven the high ability for analyzing information, and discovering the relations among …
Critical minerals are increasingly used in advanced, modern technologies. Exploration for these minerals require efficient mechanisms to search for the latest geological knowledge about the petrogenesis and spatial distribution of these essential resources. Although the current text-based deposit classification schemes help geoscientists to understand how and where these critical minerals form,…
