This book presents innovative work in Climate Informatics, a new field that reflects the application of data mining methods to climate science, and shows where this new and fast growing field is headed. Given its interdisciplinary nature, Climate Informatics offers insights, tools and methods that are increasingly needed in order to understand the climate system, an aspect which in turn has become crucial because of the threat of climate change. There has been a veritable explosion in the amount of data produced by satellites, environmental sensors and climate models that monitor, measure and forecast the earth system. In order to meaningfully pursue knowledge discovery on the basis of such voluminous and diverse datasets, it is necessary to apply machine learning methods, and Climate Informatics lies at the intersection of machine learning and climate science. This book grew out of the fourth workshop on Climate Informatics held in Boulder, Colorado in Sep. 2014.

Henryton Hospital Center in Marriottsville, MD. This book is based on the history and storied of a now demoed complex. Have you ever driven by that abandoned building and wondered what happened to it ? Why was it reclaimed by Mother Nature? Ever see a farm with the lonely barn and ivy growing all through the broken boards? We are hobby photographers on a quest to document the forgotten places that society has abandoned. Henryton Hospital Center was such that place. This book is filled with the history and the demolition. Lots of photos are included. Urban Exploring is a great hobby for photographers. This book was created out of curiosity for the abandoned.
