• Abstract: With advancements in GPS, remote sensing, and computational simulation, an enormous volume of spatiotemporal data is being collected at an increasing speed from various application domains, spanning Earth sciences, agriculture, smart cities, and public safety. Such emerging geospatial and spatiotemporal big data, coupled with recent advances in deep learning technologies, foster new opportunities to solve problems that have not been possible before. For instance, remote sensing researchers can potentially train a foundation model using Earth imagery big data for numerous land cover and land use modeling tasks. Coastal modelers can train AI surrogates to speed up numerical simulations. However, the distinctive characteristics of spatiotemporal big data pose new challenges for deep learning technologies. This vision paper introduces various types of spatiotemporal big data, discusses new research opportunities in the realm of deep learning applied to spatiotemporal big data, lists the unique challenges, and identifies several future research needs.

  We apply a Mask R-CNN trained via transfer learning to perform instance segmentation of clouds in Titan images acquired by the Cassini spacecraft. Despite Titan specific challenges, our approach yields accuracy comparable to contemporary cloud identification studies on Earth and other worlds. We suggest that such approaches have broad potential for application to similar problems in planetary science where they are currently under-utilized.

  In this paper, we introduce the conservation-informed GNN (CiGNN), an end-to-end explainable learning framework. The network is designed to conform to the general symmetry conservation law via symmetry where conservative and non-conservative information passes over a multiscale space by a latent temporal marching strategy. Results demonstrate that CiGNN exhibits remarkable baseline accuracy and generalizability, and is readily applicable to learning for prediction of varioustemporal dynamics.
