IN13C:
Convergence in Space Physics and Earth Science: Discovery Through Machine Learning Posters


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 57379

Session Description:
Machine learning is increasingly used in a wide variety of scientific disciplines to advance knowledge in the age of big data and novel data analytics. However, application of machine learning algorithms to Earth and Space Science datasets is still in its infancy, and the question of how to incorporate uncertainties and physics knowledge remains unanswered. The common paradigm of applying machine learning to create new knowledge in both Space Physics and Earth Science provides a foundation to discuss their convergence. Besides being the pinnacle of evolutionary integration across disciplines, convergent research is now a central investment focus at both NASA and NSF. We invite contributions that exemplify the application of machine learning in Space Physics and Earth Sciences. The session will spark discussion of how machine learning methodology transfer may serve to bridge disciplines, leading to the opening of new research vistas and collaboration among researchers seeking future funding opportunities.
