📢 Attention YouthMappers! 🌏🧊 Join the GeoAI Arctic Challenge, sponsored by NSF & Cyber2A! Learn AI, remote sensing, and geospatial science through webinars & hands-on sessions. No ML experience required. Open through Jan. 31, 2027. Register: tinyurl.com/22dcucww #YouthMappers #GeoAI #GIS
Promotional flyer for the GeoAI Arctic Challenge. The challenge invites teams of 1–5 participants to develop GeoAI and deep learning models to map retrogressive thaw slumps (RTS) using multimodal Arctic remote sensing data. Eligible participants include students, academics, industry professionals, and independent participants. Awards are $1,000 USD for first place, $500 USD for second place, and $200 USD for third place. Selected participants may also be invited to contribute to a publication and future research collaborations. Call to action: Join at cyber2a.github.io/challenge/.Informational graphic explaining retrogressive thaw slumps (RTS). RTS are landslide-like features that form when ice-rich permafrost thaws and collapses. As Arctic warming accelerates, they are becoming more common, reshaping landscapes, altering hydrology, affecting ecosystems, and releasing long-frozen carbon. The graphic also lists key challenge dates: July 1 – competition kickoff and public dataset release; August 15 – benchmark phase begins; January 31 – final submission deadline; March 1 – winners announced. Registration information is available at cyber2a.github.io/challenge/.Promotional graphic for the YouthMappers Academy "Introduction to GeoAI" online course. Participants are encouraged to complete the self-paced course before joining the GeoAI Arctic Challenge. Developed in partnership with Cyber2A and supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the course includes hands-on tutorials with mapping tools, global GeoAI case studies, and a certificate upon completion. Call to action: Start today at youthmappers.org/academy/.
