Big data and future development of geological science
-
摘要:
地质学定量化是地质学自身发展臻于成熟的重要标志。地质学家们经过长期艰难的探索和尝试，扫清了许多障碍并取得了令人瞩目的进展，但并未越过定性描述和不确定性门槛。在人类进入信息化和大数据时代的今天，地质学家们发现并找到了越过定量化之门的捷径。在以大数据和数据密集型计算为基础的第四范式支配下，地质学家有可能突破各种主客观因素的限制，使地质学进入更全面的定量化发展阶段，并取得地质科学原理和规律方面的新发现。换言之，在地质信息学的引领和支撑下，地质学将在新世纪得到快速发展。地质学家需要逐步建立与第四范式相适应的新地质科学观，即以查找和揭示隐藏于大数据中的多种地质要素关联关系为主要目标，然后在此基础上追究成因关系。
Abstract:Quantification of geology is an important indicator of the development of geology itself. After long and hard explorations and attempts, geologists have overcome many obstacles and made remarkable progress, but they have not crossed the threshold of qualitative description and uncertainty. Today, when human beings enter into the era of informatization and big data, geologists have discovered the shortcut to quantification. Under the domination of the Fourth Paradigm which is based on big data and dataintensive computing, all kinds of limitations from both subjective and objective factors may be overcome by geologists. Geological science will be brought into a more comprehensive stage of quantitative development, and new discoveries in principles and laws will be acquired. In other words, guided and supported by geoinformatics, geology will develop rapidly in the 21st Century. Geologists need to gradually establish a new concept of geological science that is compatible with the Fourth Paradigm, that is, to find and reveal the relationship between various geological factors concealed in big data as the primary goal, and then to identify the genetic relationships on such a basis.
