This study proposes a new inverse algorithm to estimate the hydraulic conductivity (K) distribution based on a Gaussian Mixture Model that significantly reduces the number of parameters to be estimated during the inversion process. Moreover, a new objective function that increases the sensitivity of parameters using the spatial derivatives of hydraulic heads is introduced, and the algorithm is further improved by including a Bayes estimator that takes advantage of different possible solutions. The developed approach is tested through multiple synthetic experiments consisting of 250 randomly generated K fields resulting in different levels of heterogeneity and the use of different number of pumping tests, with a total of 1,000 cases of two‐dimensional configuration. A large number of cases are considered to ensure that our findings and conclusions are not based on a single realization. Results revealed significant improvements to K estimates, computational time, and predictions of independently conducted tests not used in the calibration effort when compared to a geostatistical inverse approach. Overall, our results reveal that the Gaussian Mixture inversion approach is able to achieve similar or higher levels of accuracy using half of the pumping tests and 20% of the computational time compared to a geostatistical inversion approach.

This study investigates the combined effects of air pollution and socioeconomic factors on disease incidence and severity, addressing gaps in prior research that often analyzed these factors separately. Using data from 86,170 hospitalizations in Mexico City (2015–2019), we employed multivariate statistical methods (PCA and factor analysis) to construct composite measures of social and economic status and grouped correlated pollutants. Logistic and negative binomial regression models assessed their associations with hospitalization risk and frequency. Results showed that economic status significantly influenced diabetes complications, while social factors affected prenatal care-related diseases and hypertension. The PM10–PM2.5–CO group increased the incidence of asthma, influenza, and epilepsy, whereas NO2–NOx impacted diabetes complication severity and influenza. Nonlinear effects and interactions (e.g., age and weight) were also identified, highlighting the need for integrated analyses in environmental health research.

Accurate detection and classification of wind states is crucial for accurately assessing and predicting wind energy production, fire spread behavior, air quality monitoring, and understanding complex meteorological phenomena. The complex nature of wind necessitates advanced data analysis techniques to extract meaningful patterns from meteorological datasets. This study presents a stochastic wind classification and identification analysis based on a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) clustering method applied to a case study in La Rumorosa'', Mexican California. By analyzing four meteorological variables (relative humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind speed, and wind direction) over five years, the method automatically identifies distinct wind conditions that can be defined as climate states, including well-known regional phenomena like Santa Ana winds and local orographic winds. Accurate detection of wind states enables better forecasting of wind energy potential at favorable sites, wildfire risk management through predicted fire behavior and monitoring pollutant/allergen dispersal patterns. The proposed approach offers a reliable, computationally efficient method for detecting wind patterns, extending to different geographical regions impacted by diverse wind phenomena.
