Suspended sediment is a significant threat to the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) ecosystem. This catchment pollutant stems primarily from terrestrial soil erosion. Bulk masses of sediments have potential to propagate from river plumes into the mid-shelf and outer-shelf regions. Existing sediment forecasting methods suffer from the problem of low-resolution predictions, making them unsuitable for wide area coverage. In this paper, a novel sediment distribution prediction model is proposed to augment existing water quality management programs for the GBR. This model is based on the state-of-theart Transformer network in conjunction with the well-known finite element analysis. For model training, the emerging physics-informed neural network is employed to incorporate both simulated and measured sediment data. Our proposed Finite Element Transformer (FE-Transformer) model offers accurate predictions of sediment across the entire GBR. It provides unblurred outputs, which cannot be achieved with previous next-frame prediction models. This paves a way for accurate forecasting of sediment, which in turn may lead to improved water quality management for the GBR. (C) 2022 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
