摘要
The vision of a digital earth (DE) is continuously evolving, and the next-generation infrastructures, platforms and applications are being implemented. In this article, we attempt to initiate a debate within the DE and with affine communities about why%26apos; a digital earth curriculum (DEC) is needed, how%26apos; it should be developed, and what%26apos; it could look like. It is impossible to do justice to the Herculean effort of DEC development without extensive consultations with the broader community. We propose a frame for the debate (what, why, and how of a DEC) and a rationale for and elements of a curriculum for educating the coming generations of digital natives and indicate possible realizations. We particularly argue that a DEC is not a deja vu of classical research and training agendas of geographic information science, remote sensing, and similar fields by emphasizing its unique characteristics.
