Global Observation Corridors and Information Retention
Paper 499 of 511
Abstract
Certain geological environments repeatedly preserve information useful for Earth-system interpretation.
This paper evaluates observation corridors as long-duration information-retention systems.
Retention Systems
- Shield systems
- Basin systems
- Structural corridors
- Resource provinces
- Oceanic systems
- Volcanic systems
- Extreme environments
- Persistence systems
Retention Principle
The most valuable observational systems are often those capable of preserving information across the greatest spans of time.
