Produktbeschreibung

Advanced information technology infrastructure is being increasingly employed in the Earth sciences. Geoinformatics uses a series of case studies to provide a fascinating and accessible introduction to this emerging field and an invaluable reference for researchers interested in developing new cyberinfrastructure projects of their own.
