The Department of Physics organized an invited talk on Sensing the Invisible: AI-Powered Remote Sensing and GIS Applications in Geophysics, Atmospheric Physics and Beyond for PG (Aided and Self-Finance) students on 6^th April 2026 at 10:30 AM in the Physics Seminar Hall, with  81 participants in attendance.  The session was delivered by Dr. Aran Castro A. J., GIS Manager and Research Consultant, Geospatial Campus, Nagercoil Branch.

     Dr. Aran Castro began the session by introducing the fundamental concepts of remote sensing and GIS, emphasizing how these technologies enable the observation and analysis of phenomena that are otherwise invisible to the human eye. He then elaborated on the role of Artificial Intelligence in enhancing data interpretation, pattern recognition, and predictive modeling. He explained how AI enhances remote sensing and GIS in fields like geophysics and atmospheric physics, including applications such as weather forecasting, climate monitoring, and resource exploration. The talk included practical examples and concluded with an interactive discussion. Overall, the session was informative and provided valuable insights into modern geospatial technologies and their applications.
