This session convenes earth scientists, data scientists, and interdisciplinary researchers to examine how informatics is reshaping geosciences and highlights the integration of data science, artificial intelligence, and advanced analytics to deepen the understanding of the earth systems. Presentations will emphasize innovative approaches to managing and sustaining geoscience data infrastructures, fostering collaboration across disciplines, and ensuring that research tools and datasets remain accessible, interoperable, and trustworthy. Speakers will present applications across terrestrial, oceanic, and atmospheric systems, while illustrating how machine learning and AI are advancing Earth observation, strengthening predictive modeling, and converting satellite and in situ data into actionable insights. By bringing together diverse perspectives, the session emphasizes the central role of informatics in advancing Earth science and highlights its role in supporting open science. Researchers who are unsure where their abstract best fits are especially encouraged to submit to this general informatics session.
