Estimating the Geological Strength Index (GSI) in Regional Seismic-Landslide Zonation Using the Empirical Regression Model by M. E. Mirabedini, E. Haghshenas, N. Ganjian

“…An empirical regression model was presented to estimate the Geological Strength Index (GSI) with an implication on geological quadrangle of Gorgan region at Alborz mountains range (north of Iran). Two main sets of data were applied in this study: (1) geomorphological data including the slope height, aspect, and distance from faults and distance from thrusts and (2) the physical and mechanical properties of rocks including the unit weight, uniaxial compressive strength (σci), and the petrographic constant (mί) of intact rock. …”

Enhanced streamflow forecasting using hybrid modelling integrating glacio-hydrological outputs, deep learning and wavelet transformation by Jamal Hassan Ougahi, John S Rowan

“…Abstract Understanding snow and ice melt dynamics is vital for flood risk assessment and effective water resource management in populated river basins sourced in inaccessible high-mountains. This study provides an AI-enabled hybrid approach integrating glacio-hydrological model outputs (GSM-SOCONT), with different machine learning and deep learning techniques framed as alternative ‘computational scenarios, leveraging both physical processes and data-driven insights for enhanced predictive capabilities. …”
