Integrated Earth 2023

Integrated Earth 2023 will bring together participants working across the five Earth systems (geosphere, biosphere, cryosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere) to identify opportunities for data integration and scientific collaboration. Organisers seek to create a cross-disciplinary community of practice for Australian Earth and environmental science data, ensuring that, whilst data might be collected in isolation and for a specific research problem, it can be integrated with other data for a wide range of possible applications.

With more capable high-performance computing and data infrastructure now available, the emergence of large-scale digital twins and the availability of new computational techniques and research becoming a reality internationally, it is critical that we ensure that relevant existing and new Australian datasets can be integrated and structured in such a way so that the next generation of researchers truly can undertake planetary-scale analysis and contribute meaningfully to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

This conference aims to better connect the physical/natural sciences and the mathematical/computational/data sciences. It will bring together participants working across the five Earth systems to identify opportunities for data integration, integrated modelling approaches, scientific collaboration and to create a cross-disciplinary community of practice for Australian Earth and environmental science data.
