ANNs also provide a faster method of developing systems that classify seismic events as being earthquakes or underground explosions.Farid Dowla and Leah Rogers have developed a number of ANN applications for researchers and students in hydrology and seismology. This book, complete with exercises and ANN algorithms, illustrates how ANNs can be used in solving problems in environmental engineering and the geosciences, and provides the necessary tools to get started using these elegant and efficient new techniques.Following the development of four primary ANN algorithms (backpropagation, self-organizing, radial basis functions, and hopfield networks), and a discussion of important issues in ANN formulation (generalization properties, computer generation of training sets, causes of slow training, feature extraction and preprocessing, and performance evaluation), readers are guided through a series of straightforward yet complex illustrative problems. These include groundwater remediation management, seismic discrimination between earthquakes and underground explosions, automated monitoring for acoustic and seismic sensor data, estimation of seismic sources, geospatial estimation, lithologic classification from geophysical logging, earthquake forecasting, and climate change. Each chapter contains detailed exercises often drawn from field data that use one or more of the four primary ANN algorithms presented. 606 $aEarth sciences$xData processing 606 $aEnvironmental engineering$xData processing 606 $aNeural networks (Computer science) 606 $aEarth sciences$xData processing 606 $aEnvironmental engineering$xData processing 606 $aGeology - General$2HILCC 606 $aGeology$2HILCC 606 $aEarth & Environmental Sciences$2HILCC 615 0$aEarth sciences$xData processing. 615 0$aEnvironmental engineering$xData processing. 615 0$aNeural networks (Computer science) 615 0$aEarth sciences$xData processing 615 0$aEnvironmental engineering$xData processing 615 7$aGeology - General 615 7$aGeology 615 7$aEarth & Environmental Sciences 676 $a550/.285 700 $aDowla$b Farid U.$0731085 701 $aRogers$b Leah L$01208148 801 0$bCaBNVSL 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910260628303321 996 $aSolving problems in environmental engineering and geosciences with artificial neural networks$92787192 997 $aUNINA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
