Understanding earth systems and its dynamic behavior requires
objective insights into the complex observational data sets and
their interrelationships. Drawing meaningful inferences from such
data is not always an easy task as the deterministic relationships
between various geological variables often remain obscured. These
interrelationships need to be determined empirically through the
analysis of a large set of data and validated through numerical
simulations. The ever widening horizon of techniques of numerical
analysis and simulation now provides a good number of tools to aid
the interpretation. However, due to the inherent complexity of
earth science data, expert supervision is required at all stages of
analysis from collection to dissemination. This ensures that the
most appropriate methodology is adopted and the results remain
consistent with the geological principles. Discussions on these
practical issues often lie beyond the scope of textbooks and this
is precisely where this book is placed. In this book eminent
geoscientists present their experiences in analyzing and managing
earth science data as well as in designing numerical models to
simulate earth processes. Apart from giving a discourse of their
own approach towards a particular research problem they also
discuss at length the relative merits of alternative methodologies.
These seven authoritative articles, richly illustrated, will be a
valuable resource for research students and professionals
interested in research and teaching in various branches of earth
science like, tectonics, GPS geodesy, sedimentology, geographical
information science, and evolutionary biology.
