Evaluation of Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines and Artificial Neural Network for Prediction of Mean Sea Level Trend around Northern Australian Coastlines

Mean sea level rise is a significant emerging risk from climate change. This research paper is based on the use of artificial intelligence models to assess and predict the trend on mean sea level around northern Australian coastlines. The study uses sea-level times series from four sites (Broom, Dar...
