Advances in Data Assimilation and Uncertainty Quantification of Water Resources Management

Session ID#: 158627

Session Description:
Uncertainty quantification is the key to understanding the reliability of hydrological models and making intelligent water management decisions. Many new data sources have been available to water resources management in recent decades, such as satellite data, geophysical surveys, and geochemical/hydrological campaigns. At the same time, computing capabilities have been advanced significantly, including statistical and machine learning methods to assimilate various datasets as well as to simulate hydrological processes. Integrating multiple spatial and temporal datasets enables more accurate predictions and uncertainty reduction in hydrological models. This session invites contributions to both theory and applications of data assimilation, inversion problems, uncertainty quantification, and sequential decision-making in water resources problems. Specific topics of interest include:

  • Spatial data integration
  • Bayesian inversion
  • AI-based surrogate modeling
  • Hybrid data-driven and physical modeling
  • Uncertainty quantification in river/groundwater systems
  • Water contaminations and remediations
