GeoAI – Prospects and Challenges
This webinar series represents a collection of online presentations that brings together scholars from around the world with expertise in the field of Geospatial Artificial Intelligence (GeoAI) and its diverse range of applications. The talks will provide an opportunity to share knowledge, exchange research ideas and discuss the emerging opportunities and challenges that GeoAI presents across different geospatial fields and application domains. Invited leading scholars will communicate their research results and share their perspectives and experiences on the current state and future directions of GeoAI.
MDPI has successfully hosted several well-received webinars in the Earth Observation & Geosciences (EOGEO) series, attracting thousands of researchers worldwide. Building on this momentum, we continue to collaborate with MDPI journals such as IJGI, Geomatics, Remote Sensing, Drones, Land, Fire, and Applied Sciences, to name a few, to promote high-quality academic exchanges in the fast-growing field of GeoAI.
