Reconstructing rainfall using dryland dunes: Assessing the suitability of the southern Kalahari for unsaturated zone hydrostratigraphies (2022)
Journal Article

Time-series of dryland rainfall over 100–1000s of years are scarce but are needed to underpin improved predictions under future climate change. Dryland sand dunes are established Quaternary geomorphic archives, which also contain pore moisture as par...

Second-order optimization methods for time-delay Autoregressive eXogenous models: Nature gradient descent method and its two modified methods (2022)
Journal Article

This article proposes several second-order optimization methods for time-delay ARX model. Since the time-delay in the information vector makes the traditional identification algorithms be inefficient, a redundant rule based method is utilized to tran...
