1. Machine learning model training
   Extremely randomized trees regression (ERTr) model trained using scikit-learn package in Python. Model used topographic elevation, slope, aspect, and vegetation type as estimators to predict shallow subsurface electrical resistivity. Training performed on 13,524 data points with 70% used for training and 30% for validation.
