Emerging AI Applications in Earth Sciences

This proposed book provides deeper insights into artificial intelligence techniques and procedures available for earth sciences. This book unveils several applications of metaheuristic approaches (i.e., swarm intelligence and IoT technologies) in collaboration with AI for earth sciences. It presents the science behind smart technologies that reveal the power of artificial intelligence and IoT. These methodologies help to extract meaningful insights from earth sciences big data analytics. These advanced technologies used in earth science practices can remove geographical barriers, locally adaptive, operationally feasible, and economically affordable. The areas can be explored with the aim of digitizing the whole world. Technological advancement also impacts the financial aspect involved in managing the earth sciences. Intelligent AI applications have made significant strides in the field of earth sciences, offering novel solutions to complex challenges, driving impactful research, and revolutionizing data analysis and interpretation. This intersection of artificial intelligence and earth sciences has paved the way for an enhanced understanding of our planet and its various phenomena.
