Researchers from the Shibaura University of Technology designed an artificial intelligence (AI) model to predict high risk areas of soil liquefaction caused by earthquakes in Yokohama, Japan. Soil liquefaction occurs when water-saturated soil is weakened during an earthquake, making it unstable and unable to hold buildings and infrastructure. The study, published in the open access journal Smart Cities MDPI uses complex machine learning technology such as gradient boosted decision trees. The model developed was able to predict soil characteristics and its ability to bear load. Furthermore, it considered factors such as the type of earthquake motion and groundwater level of the soil. Using the geotechnical information provided along with predicted data, the model created a liquefaction index (LPI), to generate a soil liquefaction map in areas within Yokahama. This research is essential for boosting urban resilience, particularly in areas prone to experiencing earthquakes. Specifically, the AI model can help in predicting areas of high risk for soil liquefaction when planning the construction of infrastructure. Learn more about this research ⬇️ https://brnw.ch/21wM1jC

All articles in Agronomy MDPI (ISSN: 2073-4395) Vol 14, Issue 8, are now freely available to access, read and download: https://brnw.ch/21wLYxg COVER STORY: The identification and preservation of alpine rye ecotypes in Valtellina (Italy) has been the object of a recent study by the Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca. Fourteen rye accessions, including two commercial varieties, were analyzed through genetic, agronomic, and phytochemical methods. The findings revealed two distinct genetic lineages: P1 (lower valley) and P2 (upper valley). P2 accessions exhibited superior agronomic traits, while phytochemical analysis highlighted high-performing Valtellina landraces. This study emphasizes the importance of conserving these ecotypes for local agriculture and resilience against climate change.
