Optimization of Green Infrastructure Networks to Maximize Stormwater-Related Benefits and Minimize Life Cycle Costs Using a Noisy Genetic Algorithm and Machine Learning Open
Green infrastructure (GI) has become a common solution to mitigate stormwater-related problems such as water quality and flooding hazards. Despite  widespread acknowledgement of GI benefits, there is a lack of decision support methods…

Spatio‐Temporal Analysis of Hypoxia in the Central Basin of Lake Erie of North America Open
We develop a spatio‐temporal geostatistical interpolation framework to estimate hypoxia extent (dissolved oxygen [DO] concentrations below 2 mg/L) with data from a network of DO loggers. The framework uses empirical orthogonal functions an…

Crowdsourcing Methods for Data Collection in Geophysics: State of the Art, Issues, and Future Directions Open
Data are essential in all areas of geophysics. They are used to better understand and manage systems, either directly or via models. Given the complexity and spatiotemporal variability of geophysical systems (e.g., precipitation), a lack o…

Exploring the Role of Social Media and Individual Behaviors in Flood Evacuation Processes: An Agent‐Based Modeling Approach Open
Flood warnings from various information sources are important for individuals to make evacuation decisions during a flood event. In this study, we develop a general opinion dynamics model to simulate how individuals update their flood haza…

Statistical and Hybrid Methods Implemented in a Web Application for Predicting Reservoir Inflows during Flood Events Open
Reservoir management is a critical component of flood management, and information on reservoir inflows is particularly essential for reservoir managers to make real‐time decisions given that flood conditions change rapidly. This study's ob…
