you will find links to work by various commission members. The links
will take you to sites around the world. Before starting a tour of
this array of research on geo-referenced visualization, be sure to

- GeoVISTA
Center - Geographic Visualization - Science, Technology & Applications
Center, Department of Geography, Penn State.
The Center is devoted to fundamental and applied scientific research
on the visualization of georeferenced information, development of
geographic visualization (GVis) technologies, and the application
of both in science, industry, decision making, and education. The
Center directs particular attention to research that links GVis
with other components of geographic information science thus to
the integration of many perspectives on geographic representation.
Virtual
reality technology is providing earth scientists and cartographers
with new, exciting and interactive ways to model the world and real-life
phenomena. One of the most important functions of traditional cartography
is providing information about location: where the user is, where
an object is located and what is at a location. This is equally,
if not more, important for navigating virtual worlds and referencing
information from the real world.
- The
Apoala Project
Environmental risk assessments and decision support for ecosystem
management requires the integration and analysis of large volumes
of data derived from both models and direct measurement of the environment.
The objective of the research being initiated is to design, implement,
and assess a high performance computing prototype that can cope
with spatiotemporal data and multiscale analysis. Specifically,
a prototype Temporal Geographic Information system with integrated
multivariate spatiotemporal visualization capabilities.
