1st ACM SIGSPATIAL International Workshop on Polar Data Science (PolDS 2025)

November 3, 2025 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA

Full Day workshop at the 33rd ACM SIGSPATIAL International Conference on Advances in Geographic Information Systems

PolDS is announcing a Call for Papers for 1st ACM SIGSPATIAL International Workshop on Polar Data Science (PolDS 2025).

PolDS 2025 is connecting the polar science community with the spatial computing community to foster convergent approaches to address significant questions in the Arctic and Antarctic regions. Addressing phenomenon such as dynamic modeling of the ice bed, tracking the internal layers of ice sheet, and investigating causal relationships between ice sheets, sea ice and atmosphere, require developing new techniques for spatial and spatio-temporal data analysis, spatial machine learning and spatial data infrastructure.

Papers are being accepted on a broad range of topics exploring geospatial AI/ML techniques to detect novel patterns within data and promote scientific discovery in the polar regions.

Themes may include (but are not limited to):
➡️ Improving our ability to project the future ice sheet contribution to sea-level rise across varying spatial scales;
➡️ New insights into ice-dynamics; Improved estimate and visualization of the ice sheet and subglacial topography at a global scale;
➡️ Lining satellite-based observations of the near-surface with both atmospheric drivers and effects on the ice sheet;
➡️ Ensuring FAIR reproducibility of these scientific discoveries;
➡️ Accelerating discoveries in the polar regions with geospatial AI;
➡️ Improving our understanding of global and local sea level rise

NEW Submission Deadline: August 26, 2025
