Machine Learning in Geohazard Risk Prediction and Assessment (eBook)

Machine Learning in Geohazard Risk Prediction and Assessment: From Microscale Analysis to Regional Mapping presents an overview of the most recent developments in machine learning techniques that have reshaped our understanding of geo-materials and management protocols of geo-risk. The book covers a broad category of research on machine-learning techniques that can be applied, from microscopic modeling to constitutive modeling, to physics-based numerical modeling, to regional susceptibility mapping. This is a good reference for researchers, academicians, graduate and undergraduate students, professionals, and practitioners in the field of geotechnical engineering and applied geology. - Introduces machine-learning techniques in the risk management of geo-hazards, particularly recent developments - Covers a broader category of research and machine-learning techniques that can be applied, from microscopic modeling to constitutive modeling, to physics-based numerical modeling, to regional susceptibility mapping - Contains contributions from top researchers around the world, including authors from the UK, USA, Australia, Austria, China, and India
