<p style="margin:0in"><span style="color:black">We invite you to the Machine Learning based Geospace Environment Modeling (ML-GEM) sessions at the 2024 GEM summer workshop held in Fort Collins, Colorado during Jun 23-28. ML-GEM is a new resource group selected
by the GEM Steering Committee, with two primary goals: advancing system-of-systems science in Sun-Earth interaction from a data-driven perspective and developing an ML-based Geospace Environment Modeling by integrating community-wide ML efforts. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
