Theme T37 - Deep-Time Digital Earth – at IGC 37 

 

Deep-Time Digital Earth (DDE) Sessions constitute a dedicated track within the International Geological Congress (IGC) that focuses on the use of digital technologies and data-driven approaches to study Earth's long history. It explores the integration of geological data, models, and simulations to reconstruct past environments, climates, and geological processes. The sessions will cover topics such as paleoclimate modeling, geologic mapping, and data visualization techniques. Deep-Time Digital Earth aims to advance our understanding of Earth's evolution over millions of years and to promote the use of digital tools for geoscientific research and education. It provides a platform for sharing advances and fostering collaboration among researchers and practitioners in the field.
