Sabzehee, F. (author), Amiri Simkooei, A. (author), Iran Pour, S. (author), Vishwakarma, B.D. (author), Kerachian, R. (author)The Urmia lake in north-west Iran has dried up to perilously low levels in the past two decades. In this study, we investigate the drivers behind the decline in lake water level with the help of in-situ and remote sensing data. We use total water storage (TWS) changes from the gravity recovery and climate experiment (GRACE) satellite mission....journal article 2023

Freites, Alfredo (author), Corbett, P. W.M. (author), Rongier, G. (author), Geiger, S. (author)Understanding the impact of fractures on fluid flow is fundamental for developing geoenergy reservoirs. Pressure transient analysis could play a key role for fracture characterization purposes if better links can be established between the pressure derivative responses (p′) and the fracture properties. However, pressure transient analysis is...journal article 2023

Panichella, A. (author), Di Domenico, Giuseppe (author)Spatial mode division de-multiplexing of optical signals has many real-world applications, such as quantum computing and both classical and quantum optical communication. In this context, it is crucial to develop devices able to efficiently sort optical signals according to the optical mode they belong to and route them on different paths....conference paper 2023

Shengren, H. (author), Vergara Barrios, P.P. (author), Salazar Duque, Edgar Mauricio (author), Palensky, P. (author)The massive integration of renewable-based distributed energy resources (DERs) inherently increases the energy system’s complexity, especially when it comes to defining its operational schedule. Deep reinforcement learning (DRL) algorithms arise as a promising solution due to their data-driven and model-free features. However, current DRL...journal article 2023

van 't Sant, S. (author), Thakolkaran, P. (author), Martínez, Jonàs (author), Kumar, Siddhant (author)Advancements in machine learning have sparked significant interest in designing mechanical metamaterials, i.e., materials that derive their properties from their inherent microstructure rather than just their constituent material. We propose a data-driven exploration of the design space of growth-based cellular metamaterials based on star-shaped...journal article 2023

Buijsman, S.N.R. (author)Machine learning is used more and more in scientific contexts, from the recent breakthroughs with AlphaFold2 in protein fold prediction to the use of ML in parametrization for large climate/astronomy models. Yet it is unclear whether we can obtain scientific explanations from such models. I argue that when machine learning is used to conduct...journal article 2023

van Leer, Martijn D. (author), Zaadnoordijk, Willem (author), Zech, Alraune (author), Buma, Jelle (author), Harting, Ronald (author), Bierkens, Marc F.P. (author), Griffioen, Jasper (author)Aquitards are common hydrogeological features and their hydraulic conductivity is an important property for various groundwater management issues. Predicting their hydraulic conductivity proves challenging, given its dependence on numerous variables. In this study, the dominant factors for predicting aquitard hydraulic conductivity are...journal article 2023

Wahdany, D. (author), Schmitt, Carlo (author), Cremer, Jochen (author)Weather forecast models are essential for sustainable energy systems. However, forecast accuracy may not be the best metric for developing forecast models. A more or less conservative forecast may be preferred over pure accuracy. For example, forecasting accurately in times of energy-deprived situations may be more important than in times of...journal article 2023

(author), van der Meer, Marijn (author), Long, David (author), Wouters, B. (author)While the influence of surface melt on Antarctic ice shelf stability can be large, the duration and affected area of melt events are often small. Therefore, melt events are difficult to capture with remote sensing, as satellite sensors always face the trade-off between spatial and temporal resolution. To overcome this limitation, we developed...journal article 2023
