The three-day 3rd National Academic Symposium on Data-Driven Geoscience Development was successfully held in Zhuhai, Guangdong Province, from 13 to 15 October 2025. The symposium was hosted by the Geological Society of China (GSC), and co-organized by the Specialized Committee on Data-Driven Geoscience Development of GSC, the Deep-Time Digital Earth (DDE) International Big Science Programme, Sun Yat-sen University, China University of Geosciences (Beijing) (CUGB), China University of Geosciences (Wuhan), Zhejiang Lab, Jiangxi Normal University, the CUGB-hosted MOE Frontier Science Center for Deep-Time Digital Earth, the State Key Laboratory of Geological Processes and Mineral Prospectivity Prediction, the State Key Laboratory of Geographic Information Science and Technology, the State Key Laboratory of Deep Earth Exploration and Mineral Exploration, the State Key Laboratory of Critical Earth Material Cycling and Mineralization, the Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Geodynamics and Geological Hazards, the UNESCO Chair on Deep-Time Digital Earth and Mineral Resources (DDEMR Chair), and the Suzhou Research Center for Deep-Time Digital Earth.

With the theme of Fusion of AI and Earth System Science, the symposium was co-chaired by four academicians: Academician Qiuming Cheng, Academician Jian Wang, Academician Shuzhong Shen, and Academician Zhiming Zheng. Academic exchanges were carried out focusing on key areas including the in-depth integration of geoscience big data and artificial intelligence, the transformation of data-driven Earth system research, and big data & AI-enabled support for sustainable development. The symposium attracted a large-scale attendance of nearly 650 scholars from 33 universities and 50 research institutes nationwide, as well as a number of renowned international scholars. The gathering of global experts to discuss cutting-edge advances in data-driven geosciences fully demonstrated the high academic caliber and international profile of the symposium.

Through three editions of development, the symposium has fully covered core geoscience fields including atmospheric science, oceanography, and geophysics, with deep integration of artificial intelligence. It has advanced research from big data learning to model implementation, effectively delivering on the national “AI + Geosciences” strategy. Leveraging the guidance of major projects and the development of an interdisciplinary system, China has reached the global frontier in this field.

This symposium has not only promoted in-depth interdisciplinary integration, but also showcased the application blueprint of new-generation information technologies represented by large models in China’s geoscience sector. It marks a solid step forward in the intelligent and digital transformation of geoscience research in China.
