Transferability of machine-learning-based modeling frameworks across flood events for hindcasting maximum river water depths in coastal watersheds

Abstract. Despite applications of machine learning (ML) models for predicting floods, their transferability for out-of-sample data has not been explored. This paper developed an ML-based model for hin...

I'm glad to see that early career folks are using the TC catchment hydrology as one additional way to get their great work out to the community.
If you feel encouraged seeing the upcoming highlights over the coming weeks, please add your latest publication to the list of soon to be highlighted ones.

AGU Catchment Hydrology Technical Committee @agucatchhydro.bsky.social · Aug 18

Earlier this year, we invited undergrads, grad students & postdocs with recent publications in #catchmenthydrology to share their work with us📄
Starting now, we’ll highlight one of these papers every two weeks until #AGU25 — helping #earlycareer scientists spread their research!🚀
