{"product_id":"9781139097277","title":"Geoinformatics: Cyberinfrastructure for the Solid Earth Sciences","description":"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.","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47107776381168,"sku":"9781139097277","price":124.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781139097277_p0.jpg?v=1763700563","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781139097277","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
