COMPUTATIONAL GEOSCIENCES

Accurate and efficient imaging of subsurface structure and modeling of processes in the subsurface require multidisciplinary collaboration among mathematicians engineers chemists physicists and geoscientists. Presently there exists no journal whose main objective is to provide a platform for interaction among these diverse scientific groups. To remedy this we propose to establish a new journal Computational Geosciences . The aim of this international journal is to facilitate the exchange of ideas across the disciplines and among universities and industrial and governmental laboratories. Computational Geosciences will publish high quality papers on mathematical modeling simulation data analysis imaging inversion and interpretation with applications in the geosciences. The themes and application areas to be covered include reservoir and environmental engineering hydrology geochemistry geomechanics seismic and electromagnetic imaging geostatistics and reservoir/aquifer characterization and high performance parallel computing. More specifically Computational Geosciences welcomes contributions concerning for example bioremediation diffusion and dispersion geology and geostatistics scale up multiphase flow and reactive transport geophysical imaging and inversion methods seismic and electromagnetic modeling numerical methods and parallel computing. Both theoretical and applied scientists are invited to participate. Computational Geosciences focuses mainly on quantitative aspects of models describing transport processes in permeable media. It is targeted at petroleum engineers hydrologists quantitative environmental engineers soil physicists soil and geochemists applied mathematicians geologists and seismologists.

精确和有效地成像地下结构和建立地下过程的模型需要数学家、工程师、化学家、物理学家和地球科学家之间的多学科合作。目前还没有一种期刊的主要目标是为这些不同的科学团体之间的互动提供一个平台。为了解决这一问题，我们建议建立一本新的计算地球科学杂志。这本国际期刊的目的是促进各学科之间、大学之间、工业和政府实验室之间的思想交流。计算地球科学将发表高质量的数学建模、模拟数据分析、成像反演和解释以及在地球科学中的应用论文。所涵盖的主题和应用领域包括水库和环境工程、水文、地球化学、地质力学、地震和电磁成像、地质统计学、水库/含水层特征和高性能并行计算。更具体地说，计算地球科学欢迎诸如生物修复、扩散和分散地质学和地质统计学扩大多相流和反应输运、地球物理成像和反演方法、地震和电磁建模、数值方法以及并行计算等方面的贡献。邀请理论和应用科学家参加。计算地球科学主要关注可渗透介质中描述传输过程的模型的定量方面。它的对象是石油工程师、水文工程师、定量环境工程师、土壤物理学家、土壤和地球化学家、应用数学家、地质学家和地震学家。
