Welcome Message

Dear Colleagues,
I am delighted to welcome you to the Digitalization in Geosciences Symposium (GEO4.0) to be held in AlKhobar, Saudi Arabia from 21-24 October, 2024. This is a truly exciting time for our field of geoscience, as we are witnessing the rapid development and adoption of digital transformation in all aspects of geosciences research, education, and practice.

The goal of this conference is to bring together leading experts from academia, industry, and researchers to discuss the latest advances in digitalization and their impact on geosciences.

We will explore a wide range of topics, including:

• The use of artificial intelligence and machine learning to automate geoscience tasks.
• The development of new digital tools for data acquisition, processing, visualization and use of big data to improve our understanding of the process and unlock the potential in geoscience.
• The use of digital technologies to solve real-world geosciences problems.

I am confident that GEO4.0 Symposium will provide you with the opportunity to learn about the latest trends in digitalization and network with leading experts in the field. I hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to share your own work and to contribute to the discussion on how digitalization can be used to advance geosciences.

I would like to thank the organizing committee for their hard work in planning this symposium. I would also like to thank our sponsors for their generous support.

I look forward to seeing you in October, 2024 and hope you have a productive and enjoyable symposium.

Sincerely,
