Abstract
At the 25th ACM SIGKDD conference on Knowledge and
Data Discovery (KDD), a special Earth Day symposium was
held to bring together thought leaders in academia, industry and government to discuss opportunities for data science
to help meet the challenges facing our planet Earth. The
all-day event showcased some examples of data-intensive research being done to study Earth-related phenomena. A
key goal of the symposium was to raise awareness about the
unique challenges that Earth-related datasets pose for data
mining. The Earth Day website can be found at https://www.
