Abstract

Information technology deals with tools for handling information, notably computers and networks. It brings benefits such as more efficient and rigorous formulation and expression of ideas, and wider sharing and integration of knowledge. This review should help practicing geoscientists and students to gain a broader understanding of these changes and form a view on future trends.
