The Scientific Data Revolution

技术发展使科学能够收集或生产 无法分析或理解的大量复杂数据集 通过传统的方法。 新的计算密集型 可视化和模拟的方法已经被开发用于 数据分析和模型与理论的检验。 这些 新的事态发展对传统观念提出了质疑， 这些研究人员，包括哲学家， 科学，分析科学。 他们还质疑 测试和确认的标准账户。 在这个专业发展奖学金下，弗雷德里克·苏佩博士 集中于分析各种解释性论点， 是操纵和使用科学数据的核心， 这些新方法。 他作为参与者正在研究这些方法- 结构地质学研究小组的观察员。 科学家们被教导做实证研究，主要是通过 作为研究生的学徒。 在培训部分， 这个奖学金，Suppe博士将在地球上度过一年， 行星结构实验室经历了这样一个学徒， 由世界领先的 结构地质学家 他的实验室使用新的计算机数据方法 因为它定期产生地球和行星的重大发展， 构造地质学，例如发现 维纳斯

Technological developments enable science to gather or produce massively complex data sets which cannot be analyzed or understood via traditional methods. Instead, new computationally intensive methods of visualization and simulation have been developed for the analysis of data and the testing of models and theories. These developments call into question traditional concepts and dichotomies used by those researchers, including philosophers of science, to analyze science. They also call into question standard accounts of testing and confirmation. Under this professional development fellowship, Dr. Frederick Suppe is focusing on analyzing the sorts of interpretive arguments that lie at the heart of manipulating and using scientific data via these new methods. He is studying these methods as a participant- observer on a research team in structural geology. Scientists are taught to do empirical research largely through apprenticeship as graduate students. In the training component of this fellowship, Dr. Suppe is spending a year in an Earth and planetary structural lab undergoing such an apprenticeship as a participant-observer mentored by one of the world's leading structural geologists. His lab uses the new computer data methods as it regularly produces major developments in Earth and planetary structural geology such as discovering the tectonic structure of Venus.
