Title: How to make an Earth: Lessons from Venus

Abstract: In many ways, Venus is the most Earth-like planet we have found in our galaxy so far. Nevertheless, its atmosphere, surface, and interior have diverged dramatically from those of Earth. This talk will explore the ways geophysics can probe the structure and history of Earth’s “sister planet”.

AI-Enabled Geoscience Workflows Symposium

February, 07 2025

Time: 12:30 PM - 4:00 PM
Location: JGB 3.222

Join the investigators at the Bureau of Economic Geology (BEG) and the Jackson School of
Geosciences, along with thought leaders at Geophysical Insights, to learn how machine
learning and deep learning (AI) technologies are transforming geoscience workflows. This
half-day symposium focuses on leveraging AI technology for subsurface analysis and
characterization. Presenters will share both theory and practice, complemented by ample
case studies showing practical results in conventional and unconventional geologic settings.

Geophysical Insights, a leading Houston-based company specializing in AI software for
seismic analysis, has donated multiple licenses of their Paradise® AI workbench software to
the Jackson School of Geosciences at The University of Texas at Austin. This grant will equip
undergraduate students, graduate students, and researchers with the latest machine
learning and deep learning technologies in seismic analysis for education and research.

The Paradise AI workbench utilizes cutting-edge machine learning techniques to extract
valuable insights from seismic and well data, surpassing the capabilities of traditional seismic
interpretation tools. This advanced software applies AI algorithms to seismic and well data,
enabling geoscientists and engineers to uncover otherwise hidden patterns and enhance
their research results.

14th Annual Student Research Symposium

February, 14 2025

Time: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Location: WCP Ballroom

Each spring semester, Jackson School students present their research in a day-long poster competition. Throughout the day, judges comprised of faculty, research scientists, and industry representatives evaluate the posters. At the closing ceremony, 1st-, 2nd-, and 3rd place poster awards are presented in the following categories: High School, Undergraduate, Master’s and Ph.D. Aspirants., and Ph.D. candidates. The goal of the Symposium is to provide cross-disciplinary collaboration among graduate students, undergraduate students, faculty, and research scientists at the Jackson School.
