To understand the implications of depositional environment on the enrichment of iodine in sediments, the N-alkane analysis has been conducted on the sediment from the North China Plain (NCP). The iodine contents of sediments ranged from 0.03 to 2.54 μg/g with the highest content occurring in the depth of 170-185 m. The results of sediment N-alkane (TAR, ΣT/ΣM and ACL) indicate that the marine source input is the predominant factor controlling the enrichment of iodine in the groundwater system. The Pr/Ph ratios (from 0.13 to 1.68) and the plot of Pr/n-C17 vs. Ph/n-C18 suggest that sediments deposited under suboxic to anoxic conditions. Under the oxdizing conditions, the iodine tends to be rich in the sediment, while the iodine may prefers to be released into groundwater under the reducing conditions.

The launch of GRACE satellites has provided a new avenue for studying the terrestrial water storage anomalies (TWSA) with unprecedented accuracy. However, the coarse spatial resolution greatly limits its application in hydrology researches on local scales. To overcome this limitation, this study develops a machine learning-based fusion model to obtain high-resolution (0.25°) groundwater level anomalies (GWLA) by integrating GRACE observations in the North China Plain. Specifically, the fusion model consists of three modules, namely the downscaling module, the data fusion module, and the prediction module, respectively. In terms of the downscaling module, the GRACE-Noah model outperforms traditional data-driven models (multiple linear regression and gradient boosting decision tree (GBDT)) with the correlation coefficient (CC) values from 0.24 to 0.78. With respect to the data fusion module, the groundwater level from 12 monitoring wells is incorporated with climate variables (precipitation, runoff, and evapotranspiration) using the GBDT algorithm, achieving satisfactory performance (mean values: CC: 0.97, RMSE: 1.10 m, and MAE: 0.87 m). By merging the downscaled TWSA and fused groundwater level based on the GBDT algorithm, the prediction module can predict the water level in specified pixels. The predicted groundwater level is validated against 6 in-situ groundwater level data sets in the study area. Compare to the downscaling module, there is a significant improvement in terms of CC metrics, on average, from 0.43 to 0.71. This study provides a feasible and accurate fusion model for downscaling GRACE observations and predicting groundwater level with improved accuracy.
