地球科学越来越多地采用先进的信息技术基础设施，为研究人员提供对大规模中央数据库的有效访问，并整合来自各种来源的不同格式的信息。这些地理信息学计划使数据以一致的方式进行操作、建模和可视化，并有助于开发从近地表到深层内部的各种尺度的综合地球模型。这本书使用了一系列的案例研究来演示计算机和数据库在地球科学中的使用。章节按主题分组为涵盖数据收集和管理的部分；建模和社区计算代码；可视化和数据表示；知识管理与数据集成；以及web服务和科学工作流程。地理信息学是对这个新兴领域的引人入胜和易于理解的介绍，适用于整个固体地球科学的读者，也是对启动自己的新网络基础设施项目感兴趣的研究人员的宝贵参考。
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.
