Kim, J. (author), Jonoski, Andreja (author), Solomatine, D.P. (author), Goethals, Peter L. M. (author)The World Health Organization (WHO) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) provide guidelines on the maximum levels of nitrate nitrogen (NO3-N) contained in drinking water since excess nitrate ingestion may harm human health. Thus, monitoring and controlling the NO3-N concentration is of paramount importance, especially in sources of...journal article 2023

Muñoz, Paul (author), Corzo, Gerald (author), Solomatine, D.P. (author), Feyen, Jan (author), Célleri, Rolando (author)Extreme peak runoff forecasting is still a challenge in hydrology. In fact, the use of traditional physically-based models is limited by the lack of sufficient data and the complexity of the inner hydrological processes. Here, we employ a Machine Learning technique, the Random Forest (RF) together with a combination of Feature Engineering (FE...journal article 2023

Paez Trujillo, A.M. (author), Corzo, Gerald A. (author), Maskey, Shreedhar (author), Solomatine, D.P. (author)Preventive Drought Management Measures (PDMMs) aim to reduce the chance of droughts and minimize drought-associated damages. Selecting PDMMs is not a trivial task, and it can be asserted that actual contributions to drought alleviation still need to be adequately researched. This study evaluates the effects of three potential PDMMs, namely,...journal article 2023

(author), Dezfuli, Amin (author), Sadegh, Mojtaba (author), Famiglietti, James (author)Machine learning (ML) applications in Earth and environmental sciences (EES) have gained incredible momentum in recent years. However, these ML applications have largely evolved in ‘isolation’ from the mechanistic, process-based modelling (PBM) paradigms, which have historically been the cornerstone of scientific discovery and policy support....journal article 2022

Kim, J. (author), Jonoski, Andreja (author), Solomatine, D.P. (author)Cyanobacterial blooms appear by complex causes such as water quality, climate, and hydrological factors. This study aims to present the machine learning models to predict occurrences of these complicated cyanobacterial blooms efficiently and effectively. The dataset was classified into groups consisting of two, three, or four classes based on...journal article 2022

Moreido, Vsevolod (author), Gartsman, Boris (author), Solomatine, D.P. (author), Suchilina, Zoya (author)With more machine learning methods being involved in social and environmental research activities, we are addressing the role of available information for model training in model performance. We tested the abilities of several machine learning models for short-term hydrological forecasting by inferring linkages with all available predictors...journal article 2021

Mohammed, Safa A. (author), Solomatine, D.P. (author), Hrachowitz, M. (author), Hamouda, Mohamed A. (author)Many calibrated hydrological models are inconsistent with the behavioral functions of catchments and do not fully represent the catchments’ underlying processes despite their seemingly adequate performance, if measured by traditional statistical error metrics. Using such metrics for calibration is hindered if only short-term data are...journal article 2021

Farrag, Mostafa (author), Perez, Gerald Corzo (author), Solomatine, D.P. (author)Many grid‐based spatial hydrological models suffer from the complexity of setting up a coherent spatial structure to calibrate such a complex, highly parameterized system. There are essential aspects of model‐building to be taken into account: spatial resolution, the routing equation limitations, and calibration of spatial parameters, and...journal article 2021

Diaz, Vitali (author), Corzo Perez, Gerald A. (author), Van Lanen, Henny A.J. (author), Solomatine, D.P. (author), Varouchakis, Emmanouil A. (author)The spatiotemporal monitoring of droughts is a complex task. In the past decades, drought monitoring has been increasingly developed, while the consideration of its spatio-temporal dynamics is still a challenge. This study proposes a method to build the spatial tracks and paths of drought, which can enhance its monitoring. The steps for the...journal article 2020

Diaz, Vitali (author), Corzo Perez, Gerald A. (author), Van Lanen, Henny A.J. (author), Solomatine, D.P. (author), Varouchakis, Emmanouil A. (author)Drought is a complex natural phenomenon. The description of the way in which drought changes (moves) in space may help to acquire knowledge on its drivers and processes to improve its monitoring and prediction. This research presents the application of an approach to characterise the dynamics of drought. Tracks, severity, duration, as well as...journal article 2020

Jiang, Shijie (author), Zheng, Yi (author), Solomatine, D.P. (author)Modeling dynamic geophysical phenomena is at the core of Earth and environmental studies. The geoscientific community relying mainly on physical representations may want to consider much deeper adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) instruments in the context of AI's global success and emergence of big Earth data. A new perspective of using...journal article 2020
