Abstract

Extreme space weather events can disrupt satellite communications, GPS systems, and power grids and even pose risks to astronauts. Understanding and predicting these events is essential for protecting critical infrastructure and ensuring national security. This project aims to develop an advanced cyberinfrastructure that integrates artificial intelligence (AI) with diverse space weather data to improve the forecasting of extreme space weather events. By incorporating generative AI models for data creation, the project enables predictive analyses that are both data-rich and scalable. This significantly enhances the ability to forecast extreme events, including solar flares, coronal mass ejections, and solar energetic particle events, thus helping mitigate their effects on technological systems. Additionally, the project fosters collaboration between computer scientists and heliophysicists while providing open-access tools and datasets to the research community. The project also involves student groups in hands-on research and training, offering mentorship opportunities, and partnering with high schools. This contributes to building a skilled STEM workforce, advancing scientific knowledge through data-driven analysis, advancing core scientific knowledge and contributing to national security. This project develops a cyberinfrastructure for AI-enabled multimodal extreme space weather events forecasting. The cyberinfrastructure enables predictive modeling of solar transient eve
