Open Earth System Science Data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) / Machine Learning (ML) to Advance Scientific Discovery

Session ID#: 282130

Session Description:
The volume, velocity, variety, veracity, and value of Earth, biology, and environmental data are increasing rapidly. Data from observational networks, remote sensing and modeling platforms are expanding with ever increasing spatial resolution and temporal sampling. To realize the promise of new scientific discoveries in Earth system science, new analysis paradigms, novel hardware and software infrastructure, efficient and scalable data discovery, access, and management tools are required. This session solicits abstracts that describe high performance storage and computing infrastructure; data access and analytics platforms; strategies for fostering or ensuring FAIR (findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability) data principles; unique methods for data fusion, synthesis, and analysis of open data; standards for AI-ready training and benchmarking data; methods for building and using ML foundational models from Big Data archives; advances in research data platforms and technologies; and reports on scientific discoveries or research results employing large and/or complex Earth system science data.
