Now that we have the basics of AI use in the geosciences, the question becomes, how do we use and maximize these tools? Enter the supercomputer! With Dr. Dalton Lunga, Senior R&D Scientist and GeoAI Group Leader at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, we explore the cutting-edge world of supercomputers and their role in training large GeoAI models. Dr. Lunga shares insights on how supercomputers like Summit and Frontier are revolutionizing the field of geospatial AI, enabling faster and more accurate processing of vast amounts of data. He also discusses the challenges and opportunities in training large GeoAI models, highlighting the potential for breakthroughs in climate modeling, natural disaster response, and environmental monitoring. Through the conversation, we unravel the pivotal importance of these tools for unlocking new frontiers in earth observation and our understanding of the planet's dynamic processes.
