Abstract

In this video Manuel Iturralde gives a lecture entitled "Earth sciences in the third millennium : from deep earth to social issues". The development of new technologies is providing a highway for sciences, such as Earth sciences. Nowadays, within short time are becoming available new techniques, new methods and new equipments of remote sensing, geophysics, images processing, earth tomography, rock and mineral analysis. These achievements are steaming the possibilities of understanding earth dynamics, as demonstrated by recent achievements in geosciences. Nevertheless, the cost of acquisition, exploitation and maintenance of these technologies are growing very fast, and the standards are constantly sharpened, making obsolete previous techniques within a short time period.
