[ESIP-all] Call for Abstract: the 3rd NOAA Workshop on Leveraging Artificial Intelligence in Environmental Science

[Douglas Rao - NOAA Affiliate]

Dear all,

NOAA will be hosting its 3rd Workshop on Leveraging Artificial Intelligence
in Environmental Science on September 13-17, 2021 (
https://2021noaaaiworkshop.sched.com) with support from ESIP. This public
workshop is open to everyone who is interested and is currently accepting
abstracts until June 18, 2021. Please feel free to share this information
with your networks. More information about the workshop can be found below.

-------------------------

Dear colleagues,

On behalf of the planning team, we invite you to participate in the 3rd
NOAA Workshop on Leveraging AI for Environmental Sciences
<http://2021noaaaiworkshop.sched.com/info>, which will be a hybrid event on
September 13–17, 2021. The theme for this year’s workshop is “Transforming
Weather, Climate Services, and Blue Economy with Artificial Intelligence.”
As a hybrid event, in-person capacity at Boulder will be limited following
the most recent public health guideline while the virtual event will be
open broadly.

We invite you to submit an abstract relevant to the theme of this year’s
workshop. The major topics that will be covered by this September include:

   -

   AI for Weather & Climate: Using AI to advance the understanding of
   weather and climate systems and improve the capability to predict extreme
   events and future changes.
   -

   AI for Blue Economy: Using AI to enhance all sectors of the American
   Blue Economy, such as fishery stock assessment, efficient marine resource
   surveys, automated data acquisition and analysis, image processing, coastal
   resilience planning, and protection of the marine ecosystem.
   -

   Workforce Development & Education: Development and educational
   activities to promote workforce proficiency and increase workforce
   diversity around AI.
   -

   Research-to-Operation/Commercialization (R2X) for AI: Examples and
   lessons learned on how to transfer AI-based research into operational
   and/or commercial products.
   -

   Trustworthy & Responsible AI in Environmental Sciences: Tools and case
   studies to address the ethical concerns of AI applications in environmental
   sciences and their societal impacts, such as explainable AI and risk
   communication.
   -

   Seamless AI Systems: Development of end-to-end AI-based systems that
   provide workflows, products, and/or services to build customized AI
   applications for end-users.
   -

   Community of Practice: Strategies and examples of organizing communities
   of practice around AI in environmental sciences to accelerate the adoption
   of AI and collaborations with communities of practice relevant to other
   NOAA’s Science and Technology focus areas.
   -

   Tools, Resources & Datasets: Development of open source tools,
   resources, and datasets to improve the efficiency and efficacy of AI
   applications in environmental sciences, such as deep learning tools,
   reference datasets for AI application benchmarking, and AI-ready data
   development.
