Abstract
New requirements imposed by data-intensive geoscience research and education are demanding capabilities well beyond what the current generation of computing tools are able to provide. The presentation will outline a new model for data-intensive multi-layered, multi-resolution, temporal geoscience exploration that leverages emerging infrastructure and techniques in visualization, data mining, data storage and networking.
This new model is currently being explored in the context of a variety of geoscience applications that include: Visual core description and correlation; seismic modeling; and ground water modeling.
