Our book is out: Knowledge Discovery in Big Data from Astronomy and Earth Observation

Our book is out: Knowledge Discovery in Big Data from Astronomy and Earth Observation

Our COST Action had a unique challenge to bring together people form astronomy and Earth observation and facilitate communication between these two disciplines. One of the outcomes of this Action is the book that is now out: Knowledge Discovery in Big Data from Astronomy and Earth Observation.

Thanks to the hard work of the editors, Petr Skoda and Fathalrahman Adam, as well as of more than 50 authors who contributed to the book chapters, we have now the first extensive book on the transdisciplinary field of AstroGeoInformatics published by Elsevier.

The book is available at: https://www.elsevier.com/books/knowledge-discovery-in-big-data-from-astronomy-and-earth-observation/skoda/978-0-12-819154-5
