Simultaneous feature engineering and interpretation: Forecasting harmful algal blooms using a deep learning approach

TaeHo Kim et al.

Summary: The article introduces a model called RETAIN-D for forecasting harmful algal blooms (HABs), which combines reverse time attention with a decay mechanism. The model improves temporal resolution, forecasting performance, and interpretability. The study shows that RETAIN-D outperforms other models in forecasting HABs and successfully captures the high variability and irregularities in the time series.

Characterizing the river water quality in China: Recent progress and on-going challenges

Jiacong Huang et al.

Summary: The study reveals that food production, urbanization, and other anthropogenic activities have a significant impact on water quality in China's rivers, with poorer water quality observed in the eastern regions. Total phosphorus and ammonia-nitrogen are identified as the main factors contributing to water quality impairments, while indicators of urbanization and farmland extent are the strongest predictors. Tailored remedial measures based on specific landscape characteristics are crucial to combat eutrophication and improve ecological conditions.
