[ESIP-all] 6th NOAA Workshop on Leveraging AI in Environmental Sciences – Expression of Interest

[Douglas Rao - NOAA Affiliate]

Dear colleagues,

You are invited to join the 6th NOAA AI Workshop
<https://www.noaa.gov/ai/events/6th-noaa-ai-workshop-2024> that will be
held as a hybrid event during the week of September 16–20, 2024. This
year’s workshop focuses on fostering collaborative development within the
community around the theme of heat resilience.

We define “heat” broadly across different physical systems and its impacts
on society and ecosystems. Examples that are relevant to the workshop
include but are not limited to:

   - Applying AI to advance prediction and attribution of extreme heat
   events across different domains of the earth systems (e.g., atmospheric and
   marine).
   - Using AI techniques to quantify impacts of extreme heat events on
   human & natural systems (e.g., community and ecosystem health, drought and
   food security, wildfire, social equity).
   - Leveraging AI tools to improve information services for heat
   resilience planning for the community and ecosystems (e.g., urban planning,
   coral reef conservation).
   - Prototyping AI applications to enhance environmental observing systems
   for heat resilience (e.g., mission planning, observing network design,
   on-orbit computing).

This year’s NOAA AI Workshop will gather community members to discuss and
explore collaborations on leveraging AI that align with NOAA’s strategic
priorities. Participants will form community collaboration groups around
selected use cases that can be sustained after the workshop via online
collaboration platforms. We invite all interested scientists, AI
practitioners, and application end users to join this community-driven
collaboration development event.

Given available resources, the in-person component of the workshop will
take place at up to three locations – *College Park, MD, Boulder, CO, and
Seattle, WA* – simultaneously and connected via the video meeting platform.
The event is open to the public with a fully virtual participation option.
Due to space limitations, priority for in-person participation will be
given to participants who can commit to fully participate in the planned
activities.

You are invited to complete the expression of interest form
<https://forms.office.com/r/PF42dpxi8d> for this year's workshop by *July
12, 2024*. Further communication regarding the workshop will be provided in
late July.
