Understanding species richness is an important aspect of biodiversity studies and conservation planning, but varying collection effort often results in insufficient data to have a complete picture of species richness. ...

Deep sea mining for metals as Ni, Cu, and Co as in manganese nodules (Mn-nodules) is currently further developed e.g. with respect to technological and economical feasibility but always poses the threat that these sensitive ...

Eddy detection is a state of the art tool to examine transport behavior in oceans, as they form circular movements that are highly involved in transferring mass in an ocean. To achieve this, ocean simulations are run ...

Soil scientists perform similar types of exploratory analysis repeatedly, such as generating the spatial distribution of chemical elements. The soil analysis process is time-consuming (may take days or weeks), labor-intensive ...

This paper describes two approaches for visually exploring climate-related data collected within the citizen science research project, CitizenSensing. The project addresses the need of European cities and their citizens ...

The soil is an essential element of life. It is where people grow plants for food, fibers, and other materials. It also helps to filter water and recycles wastes. Therefore, understanding soil physical/chemical characteristics ...

Interactive visualizations play an essential role in supporting the analysis tasks of ocean and atmospheric scientists working on a variety of simulation models and observational datasets. Designing visual analytics systems ...

The weather and climate research community needs to analyze increasingly large datasets, mostly obtained by observations or produced by simulations. Ensemble simulation techniques, which are used to capture uncertainty, ...
