The creation of a new machine learning tutorial based on a national snow model from researchers at The University of Alabama and the University of Utah has been funded by a grant from the Earth Science Information Partners. Dr. Ryan Johnson, an artificial intelligence research scientist at the Alabama Water Institute, and his collaborator, Dane Liljestrand,…
The Alabama Water Institute recently welcomed Dr. Ryan Johnson as a postdoctoral researcher. Johnson earned his Ph.D. in civil and environmental engineering from the University of Utah. His dissertation research took advantage of artificial intelligence and machine learning to improve snowpack-dependent urban water systems’ resilience, reliability and vulnerability in a changing climate. “This ongoing work…
