Six papers on machine learning from GRI to be presented at MIGARS 2024

Thrilling work in machine learning developed in the GRI is going to be presented in the forthcoming 2024 MIGARs International Conference on Machine Intelligence for Geoanalytics and Remote Sensing.

The papers are:

Detecting Vegetated Wetlands of New Zealand through Satellite Imagery and Machine Learning- Saif Khan

Learning with Image Guidance for Digital Elevation Model Super-Resolution – Xander Cai

Estimating uncertainty in flood model outputs using machine learning informed by Monte Carlo analysis – Martin Nguyen

Estimation of soil moisture from Rongowai GNSS-R using machine learning – Matthew Wilson

Sunil Tamang will presenting on topic of “Machine learning-driven framework for quantifying rock glacier in mountain regions.” His presentation will introduce the conceptual framework of his PhD research, which aims to explore how subjective, data-driven, and operator biases impact the applicability of machine learning for creating regional-scale rock glacier inventories across different periglacial catchments in Aotearoa New Zealand, Chile, Norway, and Nepal.

PhD candidate Andrea Pozo Estivariz is exploring the capabilities of machine learning methods for flood prediction. Her paper is entitled: “Hybrid modelling for rapid flood scenario assessment”. She is currently developing a hybrid hydrodynamic–machine learning model for real-time flood extent and magnitude prediction.

Geospatial science and health: An overview of the Te Taiwhenua o te Hauora | The GeoHealth Laboratory’s impactful research over the past 20 years and what future health challenges will be tackled next

In this seminar, we will explore the differences in health and health behaviours by neighbourhood, uncovering some of the underlying reasons for these variations in health. To better understand the range of ways in which differences in health emerge, Professor Malcolm Campbell will present a series of research projects from Te Taiwhenua o te Hauora | The GeoHealth Laboratory
