Deep Uncertainty Surrounding Coastal Flood Risk Projections: A Case Study for New Orleans

open access: yes, 2017
Future sea-level rise drives severe risks for many coastal communities. Strategies to manage these risks hinge on a sound characterization of the uncertainties. For example, recent studies suggest that large fractions of the Antarctic ice sheet (AIS) may

Bayesian inverse ensemble forecasting for COVID‐19

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Variations in strains of COVID‐19 have a significant impact on the rate of surges and on the accuracy of forecasts of the epidemic dynamics. The primary goal for this article is to quantify the effects of varying strains of COVID‐19 on ensemble forecasts of individual “surges.” By modelling the disease dynamics with an SIR model, we solve the ...

GENERALIZED MODEL FOR STORM SURGE

open access: yesCoastal Engineering Proceedings, 1976
A two-dimensional numerical simulation model of storm surges based on the vertically integrated hydrodynamic equations of continuity and momentum is adopted. The model embodies the inundation over the lowlying land surface with moving water-land interfaces.

Universal and Normalized Regeneration of Heterogeneous Spent LiFePO4 via Mechanochemical Delithiation and Flash Relithiation

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
We propose a universal “x → 0 → 1” regeneration route: mechanochemical delithiation converts spent LixFePO4 of any degradation level to FePO4, erasing batch variance; 35‐s flash relithiation yields uniform LiFePO4 with near‐identical capacity, suppressing grain growth and cutting energy andtime by >90% versus furnace sintering, overcoming unpredictable
