A particular emphasis will be placed on investigating how emerging AI capabilities, including large language models, multimodal AI, AI-assisted scientific workflows, and agentic AI, can complement conventional data science methods to accelerate scientific discovery and decision support. The work will focus on using multiple computational and analytical approaches, from data curation, statistics, and exploratory data analysis through machine learning and advanced AI, to extract information and insight from large, complex, multimodal Bakken datasets.
