The 17 papers, from a workshop in June 1993 (according to the copyright page) or in 1994 (according to the preface) review research programs currently being developed in the geosciences that require high performance computing for their implementation, provide guidelines for making decisions about future computing directions in numerical models, and predict the future development of massively parallel processing systems and their implication for numerical modeling in the geosciences. Among the areas considered are forecasting weather and sea-ice, coupled ocean-atmosphere simulations, the long-range transport of air pollution, and earthquake prediction.

High Performance Computing in the Geosciences surveys the state of the art of programs presently being developed which require high performance computing for their implementation, provides a guide for decision making in regard to computing directions in future numerical models, and provides an overview of future developments in massively parallel processing and their implications for numerical modelling in the geosciences.
