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 various spatial resolutions. Six machine learning algorithms, including Logistic Regression (LR), Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Machine (SVM), K-nearest neighbor (KNN), Adaptive Boosting (Ada Boost), and Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGB) were used. Geospatial datasets comprising thirteen predictor variables and 1528 flood inventory data collected since 1996 were analyzed. The predictor variables are rainfall, elevation, slope, aspect, flow direction, flow accumulation, Topographic Wetness Index (TWI), distance from the nearest stream, evapotranspiration, land cover, impervious surface, land surface temperature, and hydrologic soil group. Five hundred twenty-eight non-flood data points were randomly created using a stream buffer for two scenarios. A total of 2964 data points were classified into flooded (1) and non-flooded (0) categories and used as a target. Overall, testing results showed that the XGB and RF models performed relatively well in both cases over multiple resolutions compared to other models, with an accuracy ranging from 0.82 to 0.97. Variable importance analysis depicted that predictor variables such as distance from the streams, hydrologic soil type, rainfall, elevation, and impervious surfaces significantly affected flood prediction, suggesting a strong association with the underlying driving process. The improved performance and the variation of the susceptible areas across two scenarios showed that considering predictor variables with multiple resolutions and appropriate non-flooding training points is critical for developing flood-susceptibility models. Furthermore, using tree-based ensemble algorithms like RF and XG boost in the stack generalization approach can help achieve robustness in a flood susceptibility model where multiple algorithms are being evaluated.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":33804,"journal":{"name":"Applied Computing and Geosciences","volume":"23 ","pages":"Article 100183"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590197424000302/pdfft?md5=9e61c017b8afc6f574d15d4606f34de9&pid=1-s2.0-S2590197424000302-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141953181","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The macroscopic description of mafic and ultramafic rocks, as is usually done by the mining exploration companies, leads to an imprecise modal classification of the rocks.

Although permeability is determined using core flooding experiments, recent advancements in micro-CT imaging and pore scale fluid flow simulations have made it possible to constrain permeability honoring pore scale rock structure. Previous studies have reported that complex association of pores and solid grains often results in preferential flow paths which influence the resulting velocity field and, hence, the upscaled permeability value. Additionally, the pore structure may change due to geochemical processes such as microbial growth, mineral precipitation and dissolution. This could result in a flow field which dynamically evolves spatially and temporally. It would require numerous experiments or full physics simulations to determine the resultant upscaled Darcy permeability for such dynamically changing systems. This study presents a graph theory-based approach to upscale permeability from pore-to-Darcy scale for changing pore structure. The method involves transforming a given micro-CT rock image to a graph network map followed by the identification of the least resistance path between the inlet and the outlet faces using Dijkstra's algorithm where resistance is quantified as a function of pore sizes. The least resistance path is equivalent to the path of lowest resistance within the domain. The method was tested on micro-CT images of the samples of Sherwood Sandstone, Ketton Limestone and Estaillades Limestone. The three micro-CT images were used to generate 30 synthetic scenarios for geochemically induced pore structure changes covering a range of pore and solid grain growth. The least resistance value obtained from Dijkstra's algorithm was observed to correlate with upscaled permeability value determined from full physics simulations, while improving computational efficiency by a factor of 250. This provides confidence in using graph theory method as a proxy for full physics simulations for determining effective permeability for samples with changing pore structure.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":33804,"journal":{"name":"Applied Computing and Geosciences","volume":"23 ","pages":"Article 100179"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590197424000260/pdfft?md5=99af3beb4235c62c8f4403fc8f64f548&pid=1-s2.0-S2590197424000260-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141732182","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
