Assessing the impact of artificial geotextile covers on glacier mass balance and energy fluxes by Yi-Da Xie, Fei-Teng Wang, Hui Zhang, Wen-Tao Du, Wei-Bo Zhao

“…It was discovered that geotextiles could decrease ice melt by up to 1000 mm w.e. in comparison to the surface of glaciers without cover, primarily because of a 23% increase in albedo compared to ice, leading to a decrease in net short-wave radiation and available melt energy. The effect of covering the entire glacier with a geotextile, which has varying albedo properties, was also simulated. …”

Normalized difference vegetation index prediction using reservoir computing and pretrained language models by John Olamofe, Ram Ray, Xishuang Dong, Lijun Qian

“…Using MODIS/Terra Vegetation Indices 16-Day L3 Global 250 m SIN Grid V061 dataset, we designed and implemented Reservoir Computing (RC) models and transformer-based models including pretrained language model, and compared the prediction performance of these models to traditional machine learning and deep learning methods such as Nonlinear Regression, Decision Tree, Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network, and DLinear. It is observed that the DLinear/LSTM model showed exceptional predictive accuracy, while the pretrained RC model significantly enhanced traditional RC model forecasts. …”
