Let’s Not Forget About Long Droughts
Why do conceptual hydrologic models struggle to model long-term droughts? A new study investigates.
Robustness Through Diversity: Learning from Heterogeneous Aquifers
Learning from diverse aquifer structures, which are all over the place, leads to robust inverse methods.
Episodic Tales of Salt
When episodic pulses of road salt hit after a winter storm, the impact can be like a lightning strike for the environment.
Beavers are Not Concerned About Groundwater
But, scientists are! A new study illuminates the complex interactions of beaver dam induced ponding and floodplain inundation with shallow groundwater storage and flow patterns.
Deep Learning Goes Multi-Tasking
In hydrological modeling, predicting multiple tasks helps in identifying physical rules and generalizations.
Rock Solid Augmentation: AI-Driven Digital Rock Analysis
Boosting digital rock images with AI-powered augmentation and quality analysis could improve subsurface engineering decisions.
Listening to Groundwater Dynamics
Deep learning from shallow passive seismic data reveals groundwater table depth information in space and time.
Learning Data Assimilation Without the Help of the Gaussian Assumption
Major Earth system processes are non-linear and non-Gaussian, and so should be our data assimilation approaches.
Using Big Data for Monitoring Network Design and Beyond
Large data sets can be generated using deep learning to improve the design of observation networks for monitoring subsurface flow and transport.
