Session Description Numerous observational/experimental “big data” obtained by recent extensive observation systems and/or high-sensitive sensors have substantially contributed to spatiotemporal modeling in various fields of geoscience. However, even such big data are still insufficient to comprehensively understand the whole static and dynamic systems of the Earth, so that modeling techniques, such as sparse modeling, data assimilation, emulation and other mathematical methods, play important roles to extract essential information from high-dimensional data. This session especially focuses on methodologies beneficial to data-driven modeling, and highly welcomes papers related to such as (1) information-science methods that are capable of extracting essential information from high-dimensional data and/or uncovering unobservable structures, (2) actual modeling based on statistical modeling from real observational/experimental data, and (3) miscellaneous mathematical methods useful in data analyses.
