International Hackathon on Earth and Atmospheric Sciences

by Mastering Up

<h5 data-start="172" data-end="241">International Hackathon on Earth and Atmospheric Sciences</h5> 📅 October 31 – November 2, 2026 Mode: Online | Convenor: Ms. Suguna B – Co-Founder & CBO, Mastering Up <hr data-start="363" data-end="366" /> <h5 data-start="368" data-end="398">🛰️ 1] About the Hackathon</h5> The International Hackathon on Earth and Atmospheric Sciences aims to inspire innovative minds to develop data-driven, technology-oriented, and sustainable solutions to address the planet’s pressing environmental and atmospheric challenges. From climate forecasting and geospatial modeling to pollution mitigation and disaster resilience, this hackathon provides a collaborative platform for researchers, students, and innovators to explore new ways to understand and protect our planet. Participants will work on real-world datasets and scientific challenges, blending earth science, atmospheric modeling, and technology to create impactful solutions that enhance environmental monitoring, predictive analytics, and climate action. <hr data-start="1140" data-end="1143" /> <h5 data-start="1145" data-end="1185">🌦️ 2] Problem Statements / Tracks</h5> 1. Air Quality Prediction and Pollution Source Mapping Problem: Rapid urbanization is causing severe air quality deterioration. Expected Solution: Build an AI-powered model to predict air pollution levels and identify emission sources using IoT and satellite data. 2. Climate Modeling and Extreme Weather Forecasting Problem: Current climate models often fail to predict extreme weather accurately. Expected Solution: Develop machine learning–based models to enhance the precision of short- and long-term climate predictions. 3. Ocean-Atmosphere Interaction Analysis Problem: Changes in ocean temperatures significantly impact weather and climate systems. Expected Solution: Create a simulation or visualization tool to study ocean–atmosphere dynamics and forecast their effects on rainfall patterns or cyclones. 4. Remote Sensing for Deforestation and Land Use Change Problem: Global forest loss continues to rise, affecting biodiversity and climate. Expected Solution: Use satellite imagery and GIS to detect deforestation trends and propose early warning systems for land-use management. 5. Natural Disaster Monitoring and Early Warning Systems Problem: Many regions lack real-time data systems for disaster forecasting. Expected Solution: Build a multi-hazard monitoring dashboard integrating geospatial and sensor data for floods, earthquakes, and landslides. 6. Carbon Footprint Tracking and Reduction Strategies Problem: Carbon emissions tracking lacks integration across industries. Expected Solution: Design a digital platform for carbon accounting, emission visualization, and reduction tracking for urban or corporate setups. 7. Groundwater and Soil Quality Assessment using AI Problem: Overexploitation of groundwater is leading to soil degradation. Expected Solution: Develop an AI-driven tool that predicts groundwater depletion zones and assesses soil health using environmental data. 8. Sustainable Urban Climate Design Problem: Urban heat islands negatively impact local climates. Expected Solution: Propose smart urban design models integrating green infrastructure and climate adaptation technologies. 9. Space Weather and Atmospheric Radiation Studies Problem: Solar activity affects communication and navigation systems. Expected Solution: Build an analytical model to monitor solar flares and predict geomagnetic disturbances. 10. Individual Innovation Track Open Innovation: Participants can propose any creative idea addressing a major Earth or atmospheric science challenge—be it related to forecasting, sustainability, or planetary protection. <hr data-start="3901" data-end="3904" /> <h5 data-start="3906" data-end="3942">🕒 3] Event Schedule (Three-Day)</h5> <div class="_tableContainer_1rjym_1"> <div class="group _tableWrapper_1rjym_13 flex w-fit flex-col-reverse"> <table class="w-fit min-w-(--thread-content-width)" data-start="3944" data-end="4573"> <thead data-start="3944" data-end="3987"> <tr data-start="3944" data-end="3987"> <th data-start="3944" data-end="3954" data-col-size="sm">Day</th> <th data-start="3954" data-end="3969" data-col-size="md">Activity</th> <th data-start="3969" data-end="3987" data-col-size="sm">Time (IST)</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody data-start="4034" data-end="4573"> <tr data-start="4034" data-end="4122"> <td data-start="4034" data-end="4061" data-col-size="sm">Day 1 – Oct 31, 2026</td> <td data-start="4061" data-end="4099" data-col-size="md">Inaugural Ceremony & Theme Briefing</td> <td data-start="4099" data-end="4122" data-col-size="sm">10:00 AM – 11:00 AM</td> </tr> <tr data-start="4123" data-end="4198"> <td data-start="4123" data-end="4126" data-col-size="sm"></td> <td data-start="4126" data-end="4176" data-col-size="md">Team Formation & Problem Statement Finalization</td> <td data-start="4176" data-end="4198" data-col-size="sm">11:00 AM – 1:00 PM</td> </tr> <tr data-start="4199" data-end="4252"> <td data-start="4199" data-end="4202" data-col-size="sm"></td> <td data-start="4202" data-end="4230" data-col-size="md">Coding/Development Begins</td> <td data-start="4230" data-end="4252" data-col-size="sm">2:00 PM – 10:00 PM</td> </tr> <tr data-start="4253" data-end="4331"> <td data-start="4253" data-end="4279" data-col-size="sm">Day 2 – Nov 1, 2026</td> <td data-start="4279" data-end="4309" data-col-size="md">Mentoring & Progress Review</td> <td data-start="4309" data-end="4331" data-col-size="sm">10:00 AM – 5:00 PM</td> </tr> <tr data-start="4332" data-end="4381"> <td data-start="4332" data-end="4335" data-col-size="sm"></td> <td data-start="4335" data-end="4360" data-col-size="md">Mid-Evaluation by Jury</td> <td data-start="4360" data-end="4381" data-col-size="sm">6:00 PM – 8:00 PM</td> </tr> <tr data-start="4382" data-end="4469"> <td data-start="4382" data-end="4408" data-col-size="sm">Day 3 – Nov 2, 2026</td> <td data-start="4408" data-end="4447" data-col-size="md">Final Submission & Demo Presentation</td> <td data-start="4447" data-end="4469" data-col-size="sm">10:00 AM – 3:00 PM</td> </tr> <tr data-start="4470" data-end="4529"> <td data-start="4470" data-end="4473" data-col-size="sm"></td> <td data-start="4473" data-end="4508" data-col-size="md">Evaluation & Winner Announcement</td> <td data-start="4508" data-end="4529" data-col-size="sm">4:00 PM – 6:00 PM</td> </tr> <tr data-start="4530" data-end="4573"> <td data-start="4530" data-end="4533" data-col-size="sm"></td> <td data-start="4533" data-end="4552" data-col-size="md">Closing Ceremony</td> <td data-start="4552" data-end="4573" data-col-size="sm">6:00 PM – 7:00 PM</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> </div> <hr data-start="4575" data-end="4578" /> <h5 data-start="4580" data-end="4625">👥 4] Eligibility & Participation Rules</h5> <ul data-start="4627" data-end="5039"> <li data-start="4627" data-end="4657"> Team Size: 2–4 members </li> <li data-start="4658" data-end="4737"> Eligibility: Open to students, researchers, and professionals worldwide </li> <li data-start="4738" data-end="5039"> Code of Conduct: <ul data-start="4765" data-end="5039"> <li data-start="4765" data-end="4826"> Maintain professional ethics, respect, and collaboration. </li> <li data-start="4829" data-end="4906"> Original work only;
