The British Geological Survey (BGS) is using Large Language Models to improve real-time monitoring of geological hazards and their impacts.

The British Geological Survey (BGS) is using Large Language Models to improve real-time monitoring of geological hazards and their impacts.“To date, the real-time impact data that is needed to effectively forecast and monitor geological hazard events has been unavailable or incomplete. The FloodTags platform aims to fill this gap by using large language models (LLMs)... Continue Reading →

Synthetic Geology – Structural Geology Meets Deep Learning.

Synthetic Geology - Structural Geology Meets Deep Learning. Intriguing paper from Ghyselincks et al (2025). Subsurface deep learning by a synthetic data-generator process that mimics geological activity such as sediment compaction, volcanic intrusion, and tectonic. The authors then built a foundation model trained on this synthetic data to generate a 3D image of the subsurface... Continue Reading →

Generating microscopic images of rocks using generative artificial intelligence

Interesting paper generating microscopic images of rocks using generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) published this week by Młynarczuk and Habrat (2025).“The generation of synthetic images can be an important element in supporting the augmentation and analysis of multimedia data. It has applications in many scientific fields. Also, in geological and mining sciences.This study presents generative artificial... Continue Reading →

The Common Pile

The Common Pile: The largest dataset ever built exclusively from public & openly licensed text.The authors Kandpal et al (2025) also release “Comma v0.1-1T and -2T, two performant 7-billion-parameter LLMs trained on text from the Common Pile”.“produces models comparable to those trained on an equivalent amount of unlicensed data. Ultimately, we believe that the Common... Continue Reading →
