Abstract
Geoscience and planetary science are awash in data. Over the past decade, our field has transformed into one that acquires
and uses extensive remote-sensing data. Enabling state-of-the-art models of complex systems, these data focus our understanding
of the future impact of our actions by examining the present and past.
