• Abstract: This entry provides an overview of Human-centered Geospatial Data Science, highlighting the gaps it aims to bridge, its significance, and its key topics and research. Geospatial Data Science, which derives geographic knowledge and insights from large volumes of geospatial big data using advanced Geospatial Artificial Intelligence (GeoAI), has been widely used to tackle a wide range of geographic problems. However, it often overlooks the subjective human experiences that fundamentally influence human-environment interactions, and few strategies have been developed to ensure that these technologies follow ethical guidelines and prioritize human values. Human-centered Geospatial Data Science advocates for two primary focuses. First, it advances our understanding of human-environment interactions by leveraging Geospatial Data Science to measure and analyze human subjective experiences at place including emotion, perception, cognition, and creativity. Second, it advocates for the development of responsible and ethical Geospatial Data Science methods that protect geoprivacy, enhance fairness and reduce bias, and improve the explainability and transparency of geospatial technologies. With these two missions, Human-centered Geospatial Data Sciences brings a fresh perspective to develop and utilize geospatial technologies that positively impact society and benefit human well-being and the humanities.

  Geologic map, as a fundamental diagram in geology science, provides critical insights into the structure and composition of Earth's subsurface and surface. Despite their significance, current Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) often fall short in geologic map understanding. To quantify this gap, we construct GeoMap-Bench, the first-ever benchmark for evaluating MLLMs in geologic map understanding.

  Large language models (LLMs) have achieved huge success for their general knowledge and ability to solve a wide spectrum of tasks in natural language processing (NLP) We specialize an LLM into geoscience, by further pre-training the model with a vast amount of texts in geoscience, as well as supervised fine-tuning (SFT) the resulting model with our custom collected instruction tuning dataset. We train GeoGalactica over a geoscience-related text corpus containing 65 billion tokens, preserving as the largest geoscience-specific text corpus. Then we fine-tune the model with 1 million pairs of instruction-tuning
