Rapidly advancing artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities offer opportunities for accelerated and novel scientific discovery, but require data optimized for AI and machine learning (ML) applications. This cross-disciplinary session focuses on open AI-ready biogeosciences datasets and their subsequent use in scientific applications. We seek contributions demonstrating best practices, creative approaches, and cutting-edge tools enabling datasets to be structured for AI/ML analysis. Presentations should address both the processes of making data AI-ready (preprocessing, harmonization, quality control, metadata, etc) and showcase the resulting scientific applications and discoveries. This session aims to demonstrate how curated AI-ready datasets accelerate scientific discovery for complex biogeoscience systems by uniting domain scientists, computational scientists, and data stewards.
