International Journal of Digital Earth

英文简介

Digital Earth is a virtual representation of the planet, encompassing all its systems and forms, both natural environment and human societies, manifested as a multi-dimensional, multi-scale, multi-temporal, and multi-layer information facility. Digital Earth is the framework for geographically linked research and applications in the physical and social domains of the Earth, a digital modeling platform to monitor, measure, and forecast natural and human activity on the planet, and a visualization of the world. It is three-dimensional, four-dimensional if a temporal monitoring component is added, and even five-dimensional if scale is treated as a variable instead of a set of discrete steps. As a global initiative, Digital Earth aims to improve social conditions, protect the environment, and support future sustainable development.The International Journal of Digital Earth is a response to this initiative. This peer-reviewed academic journal (SCI-E) focuses on the theories, technologies, applications, and societal implications of Digital Earth and those visionary concepts that will enable a modeled virtual world. The journal encourages papers that:Progress visions for Digital Earth frameworks, policies, and standards;Explore geographically referenced 3D, 4D, or 5D models to represent the real planet, and geo-data-intensive science and discovery;Develop methods that turn all forms of geo-referenced data, from scientific to social, into useful information that can be analyzed, visualized, and shared;Present innovative, operational applications and pilots of Digital Earth technologies at a local, national, regional, and global level;Expand the role of Digital Earth in the fields of Earth science, including climate change, adaptation and health related issues,natural disasters, new energy sources, agricultural and food security, and urban planning;Foster the use of web-based public-domain platforms, social networks, and location-based services for the sharing of digital data, models, and information about the virtual Earth; andExplore the role of social media and citizen-provided data in generating geo-referenced information in the spatial sciences and technologies.For producing research papers to be published in the journal, the following associated technologies and fields of research may be relevant, but in all cases, should be clearly linked to the topics above or the general Digital Earth concept: Earth observation (including remote sensing and in situ sensors), geographic information systems and science, global navigation systems, information and communication technologies (ICT, including spatial data infrastructure and global databases), virtual reality and immersive technologies, visualization and numerical simulation, cloud computing and high performance computation, mobile mapping systems, empowering the community and engaging society, Earth-system science, and sustainable development.The journal publishes primary research papers, review articles, and short technical letters on research that warrants fast publication. The journal also welcomes thoughtful outlook papers that can generate debate and catalyze ideas to advance the Digital Earth vision. In addition, special issues on specific topics of relevance to Digital Earth will be published to examine particular points in depth. The Journal is an official publication of the International Society for Digital Earth ( www.digitalearth-isde.org)

中文简介

数字地球是地球的一种虚拟代表，包括地球的所有系统和形式，包括自然环境和人类社会，表现为一种多维、多尺度、多时间和多层的信息设施。数字地球是地球物理和社会领域地理联系研究和应用的框架，是监测、测量和预测地球上自然和人类活动的数字建模平台，也是世界的可视化。它是三维的，如果添加一个时间监控组件是四维的，甚至是五维的，如果尺度被视为一个变量而不是一组离散的步骤。数字地球作为一项全球倡议，旨在改善社会条件，保护环境，支持未来的可持续发展。国际数字地球杂志是对这一举措的回应。这本同行评议的学术期刊（SCI-E）关注数字地球的理论、技术、应用和社会影响，以及那些有远见的概念，这些概念将使一个模拟的虚拟世界成为可能。该杂志鼓励论文：数字地球框架、政策和标准的进展愿景；探索地理参考的3D、4D或5D模型，以代表真实的行星，以及地理数据密集型科学和发现；开发方法，将所有形式的地理参考数据，从科学到社会，转化为可分析、可视化和共享的有用信息；在地方、国家、区域和全球一级介绍数字地球技术的创新、业务应用和试点；扩大数字地球在地球科学领域的作用，包括气候变化、适应和健康相关问题、自然灾害、新能源、农业和粮食安全以及城市规划；促进使用基于网络的公共领域平台、社交网络和基于位置的服务共享有关虚拟地球的数字数据、模型和信息；以及探索社会媒体和公民提供的数据在空间科学和技术中生成地理参考信息的作用。为了发表在期刊上的研究论文，以下相关技术和研究领域可能是相关的，但在任何情况下，都应与上述主题或一般数字地球概念明确相关：地球观测（包括遥感和原位传感器）、地理信息系统和科学。全球导航系统、信息和通信技术（ICT，包括空间数据基础设施和全球数据库）、虚拟现实和沉浸式技术、可视化和数值模拟、云计算和高性能计算、移动地图系统、增强社区能力和参与社会、地球-系统科学与可持续发展。该杂志发表了主要的研究论文、评论文章和关于研究的简短技术信件，这些都保证了快速出版。期刊还欢迎有思想的《展望》论文，这些论文可以引起争论，并促进思想的发展，以推动数字地球远景。此外，还将出版与数字地球相关的特定主题的专题，以深入研究特定的点。该杂志是国际数字地球学会（www.digital earth-isde.org）的官方出版物。
