Scientists from Jefferson Lab, Old Dominion University and the University of Virginia recently conducted a study that compares deep learning models of street-scale flooding in the City of Norfolk with previous machine learning and physics-based simulations. Their peer-reviewed work uses data from roughly 17,000 street segments covering 400-plus miles of roadway to weigh the strengths and weaknesses of surrogate models. The research was carried out as part of the Joint Institute on Advanced Computing for Environmental Studies, a unique partnership between the lab and ODU.
