The Earth operates as a complex system, and the existing infrastructure and methodologies are insufficient for the community to address many of the issues associated with it. An integrated and innovative approach is necessary to analyze, model, and develop extensive and diverse datasets in order to solve these problems. Geoinformatics, which is the synergy of multiple disciplines including earth sciences, GIS, remote sensing, GPS, photogrammetry, and cartography, is rapidly developing in areas where data is identified by its location. Currently, there is a chaotic distribution of available datasets, a lack of documentation about them and the methodologies used, and a lack of easily accessible tools, computer modeling, and other resources, which pose major obstacles for earth scientists attempting to find solutions. The authors have endeavored to remove these barriers by bringing together relevant information and techniques, as well as recent advances in these fields.
