III Preface Conference Summary: The Geoinformatics 2007 Conference presented the effort by the geosciences and informa­ tion technology communities to respond to the growing need for utilizing multidisciplinary geoscience datasets and tools to understand the complex dynamics of earth and planetary systems. The vision of the community of a fully integrated geosciences information network that provides free access to high-quality earth and planetary science-related data, tools, and services was highlighted at the meeting. The fusion of spatial and nonspatial data from earth and planetary sciences needed to develop a coherent scientific understanding of the Earth’s four-dimensional evolution and architecture is emphasized in the proceedings volume. Informa­ tion technology (IT) research related to knowledge-based mediation and information integration techniques for four-dimensional data models; visualization of multiscale, four-dimensional in­ formation spaces; data-level interoperability; metadata modeling and interchange; and metada­ ta-based access to data and services were leading topics of discussion and presentations. More significantly, issues of data management, moderated by A. Krishna Sinha (Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University) and discussed by panelists Chris Greer (National Science Foun­ dation), Linda Gundersen (U.S. Geological Survey), Ian Jackson (British Geological Survey), Lesley Wyborn (Geoscience Australia), Peter Fox (National Center for Atmospheric Research), Deborah McGuinness (Stanford University), and Shinji Takarada (Japanese Geological Sur­ vey), leading to solutions of global challenges such as natural resources and hazards, provided the focus for the conference and will continue to drive geoinformatics research in the foresee­ able future.

Denolle 1 4 4509 NE Sumner St., Portland, OR, USA 2 5 Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Harvard University, MA, USA ∗ 6 Corresponding author: Joshua P. Jones ([email protected]) 1 7 Abstract 8 SeisIO for the Julia language is a new geophysical data framework that combines the intuitive 9 syntax of a high-level language with performance comparable to FORTRAN or C. Benchmark 10 comparisons with recent versions of popular programs for seismic data download and analysis 11 demonstrate significant improvements in file read speed and orders-of-magnitude improvements 12 in memory overhead. Because the Julia language natively supports parallel computing with an 13 intuitive syntax, we benchmark test parallel download and processing of multi-week segments of 14 contiguous data from two sets of 10 broadband seismic stations, and find that SeisIO outperforms 15 two popular Python-based tools for data downloads. The current capabilities of SeisIO include file 16 read support for several geophysical data formats, online data access using FDSN web services, 17 IRIS web services, and SeisComP SeedLink, with optimized versions of several common data 18 processing operations. Tutorial notebooks and extensive documentation are available to improve 19 the user experience (UX). As an accessible example of performant scientific computing for the 20 next generation of researchers, SeisIO offers ease of use and rapid learning without sacrificing 21 computational performance. 2 22 1 Introduction 23 The dramatic growth in the volume of collected geophysical data has the potential to lead to 24 tremendous advances in the science (https://ds.iris.edu/data/distribution/).

    Open-Source ANSS Quake Monitoring System Software J

    Focus Section: Regional Seismic Networks in North America Open-Source ANSS Quake Monitoring System Software J. Renate Hartog*1, Paul A. Friberg2, Victor C. Kress1, Paul Bodin1, and Rayomand Bhadha3 Abstract ANSS stands for the Advanced National Seismic System of the U.S.A., and ANSS Quake Monitoring System (AQMS) is the earthquake management system (EMS) that most of its member regional seismic networks (RSNs) use. AQMS is based on Earthworm, but instead of storing files on disk, it uses a relational database with replication capability to store pick, amplitude, waveform, and event parameters. The replicated database and other features of AQMS make it a fully redundant system. A graphical user interface written in Java, Jiggle, is used to review automatically generated picks and event solutions, relo- cate events, and recalculate magnitudes. Add-on mechanisms to produce various post- earthquake products such as ShakeMaps and focal mechanisms are available as well. It provides a configurable automatic alarming and notification system. The Pacific Northwest Seismic Network, one of the Tier 1 ANSS RSNs, has modified AQMS to be com- patible with a freely available, capable, open-source database system, PostgreSQL, and is running this version successfully in production. The AQMS Software Working Group has moved the software from a subversion repository server hosted at the California Institute Cite this article as Renate Hartog, J., of Technology to a public repository at gitlab.com. The drawback of AQMS as a whole is P. A. Friberg, V. C. Kress, P. Bodin, and that it is complex to fully configure and comprehend. Nevertheless, the fact that it is very R.

ABSTRACT This paper describes the development of Geoinformatics at Helsinki University of Technology as an independent curriculum in surveying studies. Geoinformatics includes Geoinformation Technique and Remote Sensing. The goal of this curriculum is to produce graduated students who have knowledge both in vector and raster based geoinformation processing. GIS design and software development, vector based data base management as well as algorithms for analysis and methods of visualization are representatives of the educational contents of Geoinformation Technique. Remote Sensing includes image processing methods, satellite technologies and use of images in different application areas. This paper outlines the structure and contents of this curriculum. We also discuss the need of Geoinformatics as an independent curriculum in the network of university curricula. 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND In most universities the curricula of Remote Sensing (RS) and Geoinformation Technique (GIT) are separated into different laboratories under different professorships.

    Geoinformatics for Natural Resources Management Vis-À-Vis Environmental Justice

    Geoinformatics for Natural Resources Management vis-à-vis Environmental Justice Parthasarathi Chakrabarti Remote Sensing Cell, DST & NES, Govt. of West Bengal, Bikash Bhavan, Salt Lake, Kolkata – 700 091 [email protected] KEYWORDS: Geo-environmental Mapping, Remote Sensing, Change Detection, Visualization, GIS ABSTRACT: In natural resources and environmental management Environmental Impact Analysis (EIA) is an essential component to specify the guidelines for biodiversity conservation. Conceptually, ‘Geo-environmental mapping’ depicts EIA results in spatial format exemplifying the change in geosphere of the environment in human orientation. Easy-to-understand presentation of data in 'Geo-environmental mapping' requires identification of Geo-environmental indicators and unit, in relation to Natural System Unit (NSU) or Terrain Mapping Unit (TMU) through terrain evaluation procedure. In this respect, Geo-informatics (operational combination of RS and GIS technologies) play facilitator role in collection and visualization of up-to-date spatial data as well as integration and analysis of the same with aspatial database to generate application specific 'strategic datasets' for technological adjustment (structural means) and social adaptations (non-structural means), towards environmentally sound landuse/ landcover practices, minimizing the adverse effects of natural hazards (e.g. droughts, floods, bank failure) land degradation etc. This paper speaks on applicability of ‘Geo-environmental mapping’ citing case history examples from eastern

This is a general question relevant for all types of design and especially for digital maps and various Geographic Information Systems (GIS), due to the rapid development of our digital world. This general question is answered in this thesis by presenting a number of principles and tips for design of maps and specifically interactive digital visualisation systems, such as a GIS. Furthermore, this knowledge is applied to the application dpPower, by Digpro, which present the tools to help customers manage, visualise, design and perform calculations on their electrical networks.
