TextPublisher: Cambridge : Cambridge University Press, 2011Description: xiv, 374 p. : ill. (some col.)ISBN: 9780521897150 (hbk.); 0521897157 (hbk.)Subject(s): Earth sciences | Geodatabases | Earth sciences | Geodatabases | GeoinformaticsDDC classification: 550.285 574 Summary: Advanced information technology infrastructure is increasingly being employed in the Earth sciences to provide researchers with efficient access to massive central databases and to integrate diversely formatted information from a variety of sources. These geoinformatics initiatives enable manipulation, modeling and visualization of data in a consistent way, and are helping to develop integrated Earth models at various scales, and from the near surface to the deep interior. This book uses a series of case studies to demonstrate computer and database use across the geosciences. Chapters are thematically grouped into sections that cover data collection and management; modeling and community computational codes; visualization and data representation; knowledge management and data integration; and web services and scientific workflows. Geoinformatics is a fascinating and accessible introduction to this emerging field for readers across the solid Earth sciences and an invaluable reference for researchers interested in initiating new cyberinfrastructure projects of their own.
