205 | 205 | <p>We have largely omitted geocomputation on ‘big data’ by which we mean datasets that do not fit on a high-spec laptop. |
206 | 206 | This decision is justified by the fact that the majority of geographic datasets that are needed for common research or policy applications <em>do</em> fit on consumer hardware, large high-resolution remote sensing datasets being a notable exception (see Section <a href="gis.html#cloud">10.8</a>). |
