During the last three decades geosciences and geo-engineering were influenced by two essential scenarios: First, the technological progress has changed completely the observational and measurement techniques. Modern high speed computers and satellite based techniques are entering more and more all geodisciplines. Second, there is a growing public concern about the future of our planet, its climate, its environment, and about an expected shortage of natural resources. Obviously, both aspects, viz. efficient strategies of protection against threats of a changing Earth and the exceptional situation of getting terrestrial, airborne as well as spaceborne data of better and better quality explain the strong need of new mathematical structures, tools, and methods. Mathematics concerned with geoscientific problems, i.e., Geomathematics, is becoming increasingly important.
The aim of Handbook of Geomathematics, published in 2010, was twofold: The
first aim was to offer appropriate means of assimilating, assessing, and reducing to
comprehensible form the readily increasing flow of data from geochemical, geodetic,
geological, geophysical, and satellite sources. The second aim was to provide
an objective basis for scientific interpretation, classification, testing of concepts,
modeling, simulation, and solution of problems in the geosciences. The handbook
was the first authoritativemathematical forum of geoscientifically relevant research.
The editors and the publisher are delighted that the handbook was very successful
and well received. In recognition of information changing quickly these days and
researchers demanding the most current information possible, it seems that the stage
is set for the second edition as a central referencework for academics, policymakers,
and practitioners internationally. Thus, the editors and the publisher Springer have
decided it is time to update and substantially expand the first edition.
The handbook fills the gap of a basic reference work on mathematics concerned
with methods and problems of geoscientific significance, i.e., geomathematics. It
consolidates the current knowledge by providing succinct summaries of concepts
and theories, definitions of terms, biographical entries, organizational profiles, a
guide to sources of information, and an overview of the landscapes and contours
of today’s geomathematics. Contributions are written in an easy-to-understand and
informative style for a general readership, typically from areas outside the particular
research field.
The second edition of Handbook of Geomathematics comprises the following
scientific fields:
1. General Issues, Historical Background, and Future Perspectives
2. Observational and Measurement Key Technologies
3. Modeling of the System Earth (Geosphere, Cryosphere, Hydrosphere, Atmosphere,
Biosphere, Anthroposphere)
4. Analytic, Algebraic, and Operator Theoretical Methods
5. Statistical and Stochastic Methods
6. Spherical Function Systems and Methods
7. Computational and Numerical Methods
8. Cartographic, Photogrammetric, Information Systems and Methods
Описание
We, as editors, wish to express our particular gratitude to the people who not only
made this work possible but also made it an extremely satisfying project:
• Thecontributors to the handbook, who dedicated much time, effort, and creative
energy to the project. The contributions of the handbook open new opportunities
to contribute significantly to the understanding of our planet, its climate, its
environment, and about an expected shortage of natural resources. Even more,
the editors are convinced that they offer the key parameters for the study of
the Earth’s dynamics such that interactions of its solid part with ice, oceans,
atmosphere, etc., become more and more accessible. During the process of
reviewing and editing, authors as well as editors became exposed to exciting
new information that, in some cases, strongly increased activity, creativity, and
novelty. At the end, as far as we are aware, this second edition of the handbook
presents the appropriate ground in dealing generically with fundamental
problems and “key technologies” as well as exploring the wide geomathematical
range of consequences and interactions for woman or mankind.
• Thefolks at Springer, particularly Clemens Heine, who initiated the first edition,
and Mario Aigner, who was the production interface of the second edition with
authors and editors. Indeed, the editors have had a number of editorial experiences
during a long time, but working with Mario was extraordinarily enjoyable.
Thanks also go to Annalea Manalili and Michael Hermann as the responsible
persons of this work within Springer’s innovative, twenty-first century digitalfirst
reference publishing platform.
Thank you very much for all your exceptional efforts and support in creating
and continuing a work summarizing exciting discoveries and impressive research
achievements. We hope that the second edition of Handbook of Geomathematics
will stimulate and inspire new research efforts and the intensive exploration of very
promising directions.
