Scientists in the Earth and Environmental Sciences (EES) domain increasingly use ontologies to analyze and integrate their data. For example, the NASA’s SWEET ontologies (Semantic Web for Earth and Environmental Terminology) have become the de facto standard ontologies to represent the EES domain formally (Raskin 2010). Now we must develop principled ways both to evaluate existing ontologies an...

OEAS 108N. Understanding Global Climate Change. 4 Credits. What is the science behind global climate change? How reliable are forecasts of future global warming? This course examines these questions to evaluate the likelihood and potential severity of anthropogenic climate change in the coming centuries. It includes an overview of the physics of the greenhouse effect, an overview of the global ...

The unique properties of neutron interaction with materials have long been applied to the study of geological materials, with Shull and Smart using them in 1949 to determine the antiferromagnetic structure of manganosite (MnO). Neutron diffraction provides an accurate method for crystal structure determination of hydrous phases, particularly ices, and investigations of cation ordering of elemen...

Introduction In reviewing and assessing the importance and role of laboratory exercises in earth sciences, we begin with defining the scope of this review. The ensuing discussion is limited to fields of study that have traditionally formed the core of studies of the solid earth, specifically geology, soil science, and geomatics (remote sensing and geographic information systems). Related subjec...

Simulation software are build with three layers: the user interface, the mathematical models and the numerical methods. The mathematical layer provides abstraction from the numerical techniques and their implementation, the user interface provides abstraction from mathematical models. Each of the layer has a particular terminology being used, requires special skills fro the user to work within ...
