To establish "earth system infomatics" by which the earth science education was united with the information education, the curriculum and the teaching material were developed. A large amount of digital data is processed including the remote sensing data by the satellite etc. every day, and the simulation by the computer is done in various fields in the earth science. It was attempted to mediate the earth science education and the information education through doing the data processing of these earth science phenomena by using various personal computer software. The research was made as follows ; 1. The development of the teaching material : The teaching material, which simulated the tunami and processed the data of the surface meteorological observation by using general software like the spread sheet was developed. Moreover, using software of the freeware and the spread sheet from the numerical map data developed the teaching material, which expressed geographical features. 2. Made of the data set : The data set was made from the latest data by the satellite for the H-R chart making, and the data set of surface meteorological observation, weather satellite image, and image data of four seasons was made. Moreover, the upgrade of data base "Natural disaster and environment of Osaka" of making by oneself was done. 3. Made of the curriculum : The curriculum of "earth system infomatics" which became three credits of year was examined. The curriculum to which the main program like the use of the measurement and communication, the data processing, the simulation, the network use, and the data base etc. was distributed by nine items was made in consideration of promoting "Practice power of the information use", "Scientific understanding of information", and "Attitude to participate in the informationalized society".
