Why Are Some Watersheds More Sediment-Productive Than Others? An Explainable AI Approach
… and water quality protection, yet the drivers of SDR remain poorly constrained at continental scales. Here, we develop a data-driven framework to model SDR and SY across the contiguous United States (CONUS) by integrating high-frequency aquatic sensing, sediment load estimation, and …

Water quality trading: credit stacking and ancillary benefits
… to the services provided by wetlands in the Upper Mississippi River Basin, specifically nitrogen, phosphorus and wildlife credits. In the setting of our study where costs are discrete rather than continuous we found that wetlands are a cost-effective way to reduce the nitrogen loads from …

Big data for the benefit of aquatic invasive species management
… aquatic invaders that have spread across the Upper Mississippi River basin. The models identified important features that make a lake vulnerable to invasion and identified high-risk sites for prioritizing AIS management. Then I discussed methods of dealing with poor data quality in big data …
