Geospatial Data Science Techniques and Applications
暫譯: 地理空間數據科學技術與應用

資料科學最近因多種原因而受到廣泛關注，其中之一就是大數據。科學家（來自幾乎所有學科，包括物理、化學、生物、社會學等）和工程師（來自所有領域，包括土木、環境、化學、機械等）面臨著由數據的體量、多樣性和速度所帶來的挑戰，即大數據。本書旨在突顯地理空間數據的獨特特性，展示從原始地理空間數據中獲取新知識所需的不同方法和技術，並介紹一些最先進的地理空間數據科學技術及其在各種地球科學問題中的應用。

Prof. Hassan A. Karimi is a Professor and the Director of the Geoinformatics Laboratory in the School of Information Sciences at the University of Pittsburgh. He holds a PhD in Geomatics Engineering (University of Calgary), an MS in Computer Science (University of Calgary), and a BS in Computer Science (University of New Brunswick). Prof. Kaimi's research interests include computational geometry, geospatial big data, distributed/parallel computing, mobile computing, navigation, and location-based services. In his research Prof. Karimi seeks to exploit the rich interdependence between the theory and practice. Prof. Karimi's research in geoinformatics has resulted in numerous publications in peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings, as well as in many workshops and presentations at national and international forums. He has published the following books: Indoor Wayfinding and Navigation (sole editor), published by Taylor & Francis (2015); Big Data: Techniques and Technologies in Geoinformatics (sole editor), published by Taylor & Francis (2014); Advanced Location-Based Technologies and Services (sole editor), published by Taylor & Francis (2013); Universal Navigation on Smartphones (sole author), published by Springer (2011); CAD and GIS Integration (lead editor), published by Taylor & Francis (2010); Handbook of Research on Geoinformatics (sole editor), published by IGI (2009); and Telegeoinformatics: Location-Based Computing and Services (lead editor), published by Taylor & Francis (2004).

Dr. Bobak Karimi is a Visiting Assistant Professor at Colorado College in Colorado Springs. He received a BS and PhD in Geology from the University of Pittsburgh. Dr. Karimi's research interests include remote sensing and GIS techniques applied to solve structural and tectonic problems, numerical modeling to imitate known stress/strain tests, validation of remote and modeling work by field analysis, and geophysical methods applied to increase breadth of knowledge for regional tectonic assessments. His research findings have appeared in a myriad of publications ranging in topic from tectonics, energy resources, geohazards, and CO2 storage. Dr. Karimi has presented his research at many University colloquia, national, and regional conferences, and has published several papers across the range of topics where his expertise has been applied. His more recent research is focused on unraveling the more complex details of Appalachian tectonics.
