IS-GEO and iHARP are pleased to announce a virtual workshop on Model-based Reasoning https://is-geo.github.io/ISGEO-22/. Invited expert, Dr. Deana Pennington from the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) brings prior expertise in evaluating social learning and model-based reasoning together with clear guidance for successful transdisciplinary team building. This workshop will provide methods that engage researchers across disciplines to explore how data and models can inform 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.
The IS-GEO 2019 Workshop took place in Boulder, CO June 17th-21st – https://is-geo.org/2018/10/02/is-geo-workshop-2019/
Join IS-GEO members at the 2019 AAAS Annual meeting in Washington DC, February 15th from 8-9:30am : Out session is titled “How AI and Knowledge Centers are Changing Societal Views of Critical Earth Resources” . See www.aaas.org/meetings where a meeting schedule will be available on Tuesday, October 9th.
Adaptive Sensing – Taking Scientists to the Sensors In 2018 the activities will focus on Adaptive Sensing by Taking the Scientists to the Sensors. During the workshop we will visit field sites in 8 diverse ecosystems to deploy and test observational equipment and technology stacks.
IS-GEO will host 5 sessions at the 2018 AGU conference in Washington DC, more information available here.

Several poster sessions and lightning talks (see 2) at the the 2016 AGU conference in San Francisco. Check more details on the related post.
IS-GEO was very well received in the Advanced Information Systems and the Geosciences: Visioning the Future Session, GSA 2016.
The goal of the workshop was to formulate a research agenda for intelligent systems that will result in fundamental new capabilities for understanding the Earth system. In geosciences, the workshop covered requirements from Earth, ocean, polar, and atmospheric and spatial sciences. In intelligent systems, the workshop included participation from fields such as information integration, machine learning, knowledge representation, semantics and metadata, geospatial computing, robotics, visualization, and augmented reality. The workshop builds on the momentum of the NSF EarthCube initiative for geosciences and was informed by ongoing cyberinfrastructure efforts.
