Environmental eScience — Philosophical Transactions A: "The Internet has changed not only the way society operates but also how scientists work. There has also been a step change in the quantity of data that scientists routinely amass and need to analyse. These technologies have transformed our working lives as researchers.
The way we can store and retrieve complex and often heterogeneous data makes new types of analysis possible for the first time. The growth in the raw power of computers, as well as in the ways in which this power can be harnessed, allows new problems to be modelled and old issues to be studied in greater detail. But the speed of technological innovation has been so great that the full power of these technologies has yet to be realized across all scientific fields. National research agencies have an important role in supporting scientists as they adapt to this changing landscape"
