Abstract
In this paper, we report on the design and implementation of the GEO (Global Earth Observation) Grid IT infrastructure as an example of E-Science. Using Grid technologies, the GEO Grid provides an IT infrastructure that integrates wide varieties of data sets and computing services for the Earth science community. This paper presents an example of Grid-based E-Science and its application to a wide range of scientific communities. A methodology for system development based on many different software components is also discussed.
