Rapid analysis of massive datasets is essential for effective disaster response. This introductory workshop provides a clear, non-technical overview of Geospatial Foundation Models (GeoFM) and their applications in disaster relief.
Using real-world examples, participants will explore how AI and satellite imagery can support flood monitoring, damage assessment, and infrastructure mapping. A guided hands-on exercise will demonstrate the practical impact of GeoFM in enabling faster, more informed disaster response.
Level: Beginner-friendly, no prior knowledge is required.
Preparation: Since this is a hands-on workshop, bringing your own laptop is highly recommended so you can follow along at your own pace!
Location: In-person event at RDDSx space.
