Geological Database for Plate Tectonic Reconstruction:A Conceptual Model

摘要

We all live on one planet and geology has no borders.Countries that reside on different continents share the same architecture beneath the surface;they were once neighbors with common foundations.Interoperable geological data are now freely available to everyone for the benefit of society,demonstrating that geoscience can address both global and regional problems.Whilst increasingly large datasets("Big Data")provide clear opportunities(e.g.,Spina,2018).
