Hundreds of millions across our planet live with the risks posed by natural geohazards such as volcanoes, earthquakes and tsunamis. Over the last few decades, rapid increases in technology, instrumentation, remote sensing, and data storage have created huge opportunities in the field of data science in geoscience. However, with so much data collected from scientific instruments and complex mathematical models requiring vast quantities of computational power, how do we prioritize which data to analyze and interpret? Together, we'll explore the world of "big data" within geoscience, from the depths of the seafloor to incredible satellite image resolution. How do we strike a balance between addressing needs for climate science, data for stakeholders, or which volcano requires the most monitoring? Let's find out.
