Abstract:
Floods and surface water pollution are pressing environmental problems affecting our economy, society and ecosystem. Mitigating the risks posed by these events requires understanding their driving mechanisms and predicting them via models. Statistical approaches, traditional methods or machine learning (ML) algorithms, are valuable and can assist with these tasks through analyzing data from ground measurements, reanalysis, satellite observations and process-based modeling. There has been a growing increase in the application for various environmental and water resources problems. In this presentation, I will discuss strengths and limitations of statistical approaches for different environmental and water resources problems, including predicting flood events, stream water quality and flood impacts on human health. Example modeling/analysis problems are provided for various locations and events, including flooding during Hurricanes Ida and Ian, stream water quality (nutrients, dissolved oxygen and bacteria) in the Florida Gulf, microplastic in marine environments and dam failure assessments across the United States.
