Free Webinar – From Rocks to Revenue: Entrepreneurship, Innovations and Start-ups in Geoscience

According to the African Development Bank, the youthful working-age population continues to grow at a faster pace than job creation in Africa. Few geoscience programs address commercialisation, entrepreneurship, and innovation, focusing instead on academic and technical knowledge. We have a range of international geoscience start-up entrepreneurs lined up to share their experiences and learnings. This... Continue Reading →

African institutions research output on Geoscience AI in 2024

It was reported in a recent academic article there were only 8 published papers on Geoscience AI led by African institutions in 2024. My research shows 400+ papers led by African researchers at African institutions in 2024 on Geoscience AI. This is a non trivial discrepancy illustrating how bibliometric data is not neutral.Reducing the complexity... Continue Reading →

From Earth to Algorithms: Generative AI in Geoscience

My feature article published today in GEOSCIENTIST adds to the growing discussion on the role of Large Language Models (LLMs) in the geosciences.AI is not an isolated technology; it is embedded in broader scientific, technical, and institutional systems. Developing AI literacy in geoscience therefore requires (i) solid foundational geological understanding, (ii) technological and data-science competence to grasp... Continue Reading →
