Thank you for joining the 1st AI for Earth Sciences workshop virtually at ICLR! Join us at NeurIPS 2020 for another great workshop: https://ai4earthscience.github.io/neurips-2020-workshop/

Announcements

AI for Earth Sciences will also be joining Tackling Climate Change with ML on the 29th of April for a Climate Science and Adaptation Day between 7am-12.30pm PDT for sessions on Climate Change Adaptability, Emulators and Forecasting, click here for zoom registration details. You may use our slack channel ai4earth, #askauthor for Q/A similar to our workshop on April 26th.

For those who missed our workshop, you can catch the full recorded webinar, papers & presentations below

Livestream

Our workshop brings together Earth scientists and machine learning experts to try to solve some of the Earth’s greatest problems. We’ve divided our workshop into several themed sections: Atmospheric Science, Hydro and Cryospheres, Solid Earth, Theoretical Advances, Remote Sensing, EnviroNet, Keynotes.

Schedule

Tune into our livestream on April 26 from 7am-4pm PDT (San Francisco) time to see the talks. Join us in slack to mingle with workshop attendees.

The duration shown in the schedule is approximate time allocated for introduction, video recording, and Q&A for each topic.

Zoom attendees must completely close the ICLR stream before speaking in the zoom conference (seriously - you will regret it if you don’t)

All times are listed in Pacific Daylight Time (San Francisco, USA).
