Artificial Intelligence in Geosciences

ISSN: 2666-5441

Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the fastest growing disciplines in electronic information technology. Along with diversified data, AI-enabled technologies such as image processing, smart sensors, and intelligent inversion, are being tested by researchers in a wide variety of geosciences domains. These technologies have the potential to help geosciences move from qualitative to quantitative analysis. We believe that taking an interdisciplinary approach will deliver benefits to both geosciences and AI.Artificial Intelligence in Geosciences is an open access journal providing an interdisciplinary forum where ideas and solutions related to artificial intelligence and its applications in geosciences can be shared and discussed. To support this discussion, we encourage authors to open source their code, data, and the labels used in AI.We welcome both fundamental science and applied research describing the practical applications of AI methods in the fields of geology, rock physics, seismicity, hydrology, ecology, marine geosciences, planetary science, environment, volcanology, oceanography, remote sensing and GIS, and related areas.Submissions to Artificial Intelligence in Geosciences may take the form of original research articles, review articles, perspective papers, or short communications, and a variety of topics will be considered. These include, but are not limited to:AI-based decision support systemsAI-based precision geosciencesSmart sensors and the Internet of ThingsGeosciences robotics and automation equipmentGeosciences knowledge-based systemsComputational intelligence in geosciencesAI in geosciences optimization managementIntelligent interfaces and human-machine interactionMachine vision and image/signal processingMachine learning and pattern recognitionNeural networks, fuzzy systems, neuro-fuzzy systemsSystems modeling and analysisExpert systems in geosciencesBig data and cloud computing in geosciencesAutomatic navigation and self-driving technologyHigh Performance Computing in the context of Machine LearningArtificial Intelligence in Geosciences also welcomes suggestions and proposals for special issues.Editorial Board

Calphad

ISSN: 0364-5916
5 Year impact factor: 2.1
Impact factor: 1.9

The design of industrial processes requires reliable thermodynamic data. CALPHAD (Computer Coupling of Phase Diagrams and Thermochemistry) aims to promote computational thermodynamics through development of models to represent thermodynamic properties for various phases which permit prediction of properties of multicomponent systems from those of binary and ternary subsystems, critical assessment of data and their incorporation into self-consistent databases, development of software to optimize and derive thermodynamic parameters and the development and use of databanks for calculations to improve understanding of various industrial and technological processes. This work is disseminated through the CALPHAD journal and its annual conference. Contributions of high quality in these and related fields, especially the fields of first-principles calculations, experimental measurements of thermochemical and phase equilibrium data, phase transformations, and the process and materials designs that the CALPHAD works are based on or used for, are welcome.Please see our Guide for Authors for information on article submission.
