• Abstract: This paper presents a modeling framework for tracking the spawning migration of the capelin, which is a fish species in the Barents Sea. The framework combines an individual-based model (IBM) with artificial neural networks (ANNs). The ANNs determine the direction of the fish's movement based on local environmental information, while a genetic algorithm and fitness function assess the suitability of the proposed directions. The framework's efficacy is demonstrated by comparing the spatial distributions of modeled and empirical potential spawners. The proposed model successfully replicates the southeastward movement of capelin during their spawning migration, accurately capturing the distribution of spawning fish over historical spawning sites along the eastern coast of northern Norway. Furthermore, the paper compares three migration models: passive swimmers, taxis movement based on temperature gradients, and restricted-area search, along with our proposed approach. The results reveal that our approach outperforms the other models in mimicking the migration pattern. Most spawning stocks managed to reach the spawning sites, unlike the other models where water currents played a significant role in pushing the fish away from the coast. The temperature gradient detection model and restricted-area search model are found to be inadequate for accurately simulating capelin spawning migration in the Barents Sea due to complex oceanographic conditions.

  We build on a recently developed hybrid model of continental-scale bird migration, which combines a movement model inspired by fluid dynamics with recurrent neural networks. F FluxRGNN has been shown to successfully predict key migration patterns, but its spatial resolution is constrained by the typically sparse observations obtained from weather radars. We propose two major modifications that allow for more detailed predictions on any desired tessellation while providing control over the interpretability of model components.

• Constraining subglacial processes from surface velocity observations using surrogate-based Bayesian inference [0.0]
  Basal motion is the primary mechanism for ice flux outside Antarctica, yet a widely applicable model for predicting it remains elusive. This is due to the difficulty in both observing small-scale bed properties and predicting a time-varying water pressure on which basal motion putatively depends. We take a Bayesian approach to these problems by coupling models of ice dynamics and subglacial hydrology and conditioning on observations of surface velocity in southwestern Greenland.
