Intelligent Systems and GEOsciences (IS-GEO) and iHARP (National Science Foundation HDR Institute for Harnessing Data and Model Revolution in the Polar Regions) invite registration for a virtual workshop on model-based reasoning for closer collaboration between polar scientists and data scientists and beyond. This virtual workshop will take place online 15-19 August 2022.

This workshop will provide methods that engage researchers across disciplines to explore how data and models can inform artificial intelligence (AI). Hands-on activities will support the development of conceptual models and participatory modeling implementation using data across applications in polar regions, hydrologic models, hazards planning, and climate change impacts on communities, as well as other topics salient to workshop participants. A mini-hackthon will be hosted during the latter half of the workshop allowing geosciences, cognitive sciences, data science, and advanced intelligent systems to form mixed teams and then pitch, develop, and present results from ad hoc project ideas created during this event.

Workshop sessions and topics will include:

  • How to bridge across disciplines for convergent research,
  • Data science skills for spatiotemporal data modeling,
  • Best practices for cyberinfrastructure design,
  • High resolution image processing and analysis,
  • Ontological descriptions of common tools used in earth sciences and data science,
  • Sharing pedagogical resources that can be used in the classroom,
  • Earth systems modeling of Antarctic ice sheets, and
  • Lightning talks from fellow participants.
