Session Proposal: Applications of AI/ML in Geodesy (AGU25)

G003
Applications of AI/ML in Geodesy

Session ID#: 251747

Session Description:
Artificial intelligence and machine learning have become important tools for understanding patterns and signals in large volumes of data, and so it is natural that these techniques are beginning to be applied to analyze geodetic data. This session seeks talks on a broad variety of applications of AI/ML in geodesy including earth surface, natural hazard and climate change monitoring. AI/ML is exceptionally suited for tackling challenges such as pattern classification, dynamic time series modeling, short-term forecasting, downscaling, and data fusion. The expanding volume of geodetic data, including highly-resolved GNSS time series, InSAR deformation maps, and satellite gravimetry and altimetry products, alongside enriched auxiliary data from advanced weather and environmental models, increasingly favors AI/ML methodologies. Contributions that highlight new advancements in efficient deep learning algorithms, efforts toward explainable AI, and the integration of physical information into data-driven frameworks are especially encouraged.
