Advances in Geospatial Data Science 2024
·
Dates: 9/09/2024 (Monday) - 13/09/2024 (Friday)
Venue: University of Southampton
Description: Southampton Geospatial is pleased to announce the upcoming summer school in Advances in Geospatial Data Science. The summer school will be delivered by world leading experts in geospatial data science with an aim to deepen participants’ knowledge and skills in the field of geospatial data science from the state-of-the-art methods, tools and applications used in research. It will provide a broad overview of recent advances in the following areas with an element of practical-based learning.
- Artificial intelligence: This will cover topics like machine learning, deep learning, and AI in geospatial data
- Geospatial big data Analysis: Subject would cover complex spatial analysis, such as modeling spatial relationships, geostatistics, and spatial interpolation and application to Digital twins.
- Remote Sensing: Participants will explore advances in sensing techniques from UAVs to satellites.
- Ethics and Privacy: An essential aspect would be discussing the ethical implications of geospatial data science, including privacy concerns, bias, and responsible data usage.
- Applied Projects: Participants will have opportunity to work on real-world projects, applying their knowledge to solve geospatial challenges. This could involve areas in environmental monitoring, urban planning, disaster management, or precision agriculture.
Interdisciplinary Approach: The summer school will foster collaboration between geospatial experts and professionals from various domains to address complex problems using a multi-disciplinary lens.
Target Participants: We are hoping the summer school will be beneficial to a wide range of audiences including, Geospatial analysists from industry, PhD students working with geospatial data and Doctoral training programs.
Registration: Fees for the Advances in Geospatial Data Science summer school is £1000, which includes participation in all learning activities and organised social activities during the week. Participants are expected to cover their own travel and accommodation. Total number of places are limited to 20 participants and will be offered on first come first serve basis.
