Abstract:
The materials presented at the Conference describe the results of recent years in the following areas: Open access to scientific data and knowledge in Earth Sciences; Data peculiarities in Earth Sciences: new concepts and methods, tools for their collection, integration and processing in different information systems, including systems with intensive use of data; Data mining and mathematical simulation of natural processes in Earth Sciences. Evolution of classical GIS-applications in Earth Sciences; Application to Critical Raw Materials (CRM); social aspects of mining (e.g., the Social Licence to Operate [SLO]); predictive mapping and applications to exploration, landuse and search for extensions of known deposits; Intelligent data analysis, elicitation of facts and knowledge from scientific publications. Thesauruses, ontologies and conceptual modeling. Semantic WEB, linked data. Services. Content semantic structuring. Applications for geosciences, e.g., Ontology-based Dynamic Decision Graphs for Expert systems and decision-aid tools; Application of methods and technologies of the remote sensing in Earth Sciences: from satellites to unmanned aerial vehicles; Information technologies for demonstration and popularization of scientific achievements in Earth Sciences; Applications: environmental risks including mining wastes, natural hazards, water resource management, etc.
