Digital Geoscience 2025: Digital Innovations in Geoscience Fieldwork

Field data collection and analysis are fundamental components of geoscience, providing critical insights into geological processes and resource potential. Over recent decades, digital innovations have transformed how geoscientists capture, process, interpret, and integrate field data across diverse scales and geological contexts. Significant progress in digital technologies, including unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), remote sensing, Lidar scanning, photogrammetry, mobile mapping, and advanced geospatial analytics has enabled geoscientists to collect more comprehensive, precise, and extensive datasets than previously possible. Coupled with breakthroughs in artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), cloud computing, and visualisation technologies, these developments have significantly expanded capabilities for interpreting complex geology. This two-day conference will explore how cutting-edge digital innovations are reshaping geoscience fieldwork across academia and industry. Participants will present and discuss state-of-the-art methodologies, practical applications, case studies, and future opportunities. The event will feature keynote lectures, oral presentations, interactive poster sessions, and panel discussions.
