中文簡介

數(shù)字地球是地球的一種虛擬代表，包括地球的所有系統(tǒng)和形式，包括自然環(huán)境和人類社會，表現(xiàn)為一種多維、多尺度、多時間和多層的信息設(shè)施。數(shù)字地球是地球物理和社會領(lǐng)域地理聯(lián)系研究和應(yīng)用的框架，是監(jiān)測、測量和預(yù)測地球上自然和人類活動的數(shù)字建模平臺，也是世界的可視化。它是三維的，如果添加一個時間監(jiān)控組件是四維的，甚至是五維的，如果尺度被視為一個變量而不是一組離散的步驟。數(shù)字地球作為一項全球倡議，旨在改善社會條件，保護(hù)環(huán)境，支持未來的可持續(xù)發(fā)展。國際數(shù)字地球雜志是對這一舉措的回應(yīng)。這本同行評議的學(xué)術(shù)期刊（SCI-E）關(guān)注數(shù)字地球的理論、技術(shù)、應(yīng)用和社會影響，以及那些有遠(yuǎn)見的概念，這些概念將使一個模擬的虛擬世界成為可能。該雜志鼓勵論文：數(shù)字地球框架、政策和標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的進(jìn)展愿景；探索地理參考的3D、4D或5D模型，以代表真實的行星，以及地理數(shù)據(jù)密集型科學(xué)和發(fā)現(xiàn)；開發(fā)方法，將所有形式的地理參考數(shù)據(jù)，從科學(xué)到社會，轉(zhuǎn)化為可分析、可視化和共享的有用信息；在地方、國家、區(qū)域和全球一級介紹數(shù)字地球技術(shù)的創(chuàng)新、業(yè)務(wù)應(yīng)用和試點；擴大數(shù)字地球在地球科學(xué)領(lǐng)域的作用，包括氣候變化、適應(yīng)和健康相關(guān)問題、自然災(zāi)害、新能源、農(nóng)業(yè)和糧食安全以及城市規(guī)劃；促進(jìn)使用基于網(wǎng)絡(luò)的公共領(lǐng)域平臺、社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)和基于位置的服務(wù)共享有關(guān)虛擬地球的數(shù)字?jǐn)?shù)據(jù)、模型和信息；以及探索社會媒體和公民提供的數(shù)據(jù)在空間科學(xué)和技術(shù)中生成地理參考信息的作用。為了發(fā)表在期刊上的研究論文，以下相關(guān)技術(shù)和研究領(lǐng)域可能是相關(guān)的，但在任何情況下，都應(yīng)與上述主題或一般數(shù)字地球概念明確相關(guān)：地球觀測（包括遙感和原位傳感器）、地理信息系統(tǒng)和科學(xué)。全球?qū)Ш较到y(tǒng)、信息和通信技術(shù)（ICT，包括空間數(shù)據(jù)基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施和全球數(shù)據(jù)庫）、虛擬現(xiàn)實和沉浸式技術(shù)、可視化和數(shù)值模擬、云計算和高性能計算、移動地圖系統(tǒng)、增強社區(qū)能力和參與社會、地球-系統(tǒng)科學(xué)與可持續(xù)發(fā)展。該雜志發(fā)表了主要的研究論文、評論文章和關(guān)于研究的簡短技術(shù)信件，這些都保證了快速出版。期刊還歡迎有思想的《展望》論文，這些論文可以引起爭論，并促進(jìn)思想的發(fā)展，以推動數(shù)字地球遠(yuǎn)景。此外，還將出版與數(shù)字地球相關(guān)的特定主題的專題，以深入研究特定的點。該雜志是國際數(shù)字地球?qū)W會（www.digital earth-isde.org）的官方出版物。

英文簡介

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)
