Machine learning is an advanced field of data analytics that teaches computers to learn from their experiences similar to humans and animals. It utilizes two techniques, namely, unsupervised learning and supervised learning. The former makes use of the internal structures or hidden patterns in the input data whereas the latter involves training a model using known input and output data for predicting the future outcomes. Geoscience refers to the study of the Earth and all its natural structures and phenomena including oceans, atmosphere, rivers and lakes, ice sheets and glaciers, soils, complex surface, and rocky interior. Geographic information systems (GISs) are used extensively in studying the Earth. Machine learning is being used in GIS for segmentation, classification and prediction. Machine learning combined with remote sensing can enhance the automation of data analysis, uncover novel insights from large data sets, predict the behavior of environmental systems and lead to better management of resources. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts and emerging trends in the use of machine learning in geosciences. It will provide comprehensive knowledge to the readers.

Machine learning (ML) refers to an artificial intelligence (AI) technique that teaches computers to learn from experiences. The algorithms of ML utilize computational techniques to learn information directly from data rather than using a preconceived equation as a model. ML is divided into two main categories, which include supervised learning and unsupervised learning. Each of them has diverse uses in geographic information system (GIS) and remote sensing (RS). ML is a key component of spatial analysis in GIS. It is extremely helpful for analyzing data in a variety of domains, including processing of satellite images. ML tools are primarily used in the processing of remote sensing data for interpretation, filtering and prediction. This book unravels the recent studies on machine learning tools and techniques for GIS and RS. As machine learning is emerging at a rapid pace, its contents will help the readers understand the modern concepts and applications of the subject. The book will serve as a valuable source of reference for graduate and postgraduate students.
