The presentation will outline a new model for data-intensive multi-layered, multi-resolution, temporal geoscience exploration that leverages emerging infrastructure and techniques in visualization, data mining, data storage and networking. This new model is currently being explored in the context of a variety of geoscience applications that include: Visual core description and correlation; seismic modeling; and ground water modeling.
