Multi-Purpose Exploration of Uncertain Data for the Video Monitoring of Ecosystems
(The Eurographics Association, 2015)Computer Vision is a promising technique for in-situ monitoring of ecosystems. It is non-intrusive and costeffective compared to sending human observers. Automatic animal detection and species recognition support the study ... -
Web-Based Visualization of the Global Change Assessment Model
(The Eurographics Association, 2015)The Global Change Assessment Model (GCAM) is an integrated assessment tool for exploring consequences and responses to global change. However, the current iteration of GCAM relies on NetCDF file outputs which need to be ... -
Visualization of 2D Uncertainty in Decadal Climate Predictions
(The Eurographics Association, 2015)In recent years, climate prediction systems based on coupled climate models are used for investigating the climate predictability on a decadal time scale. Based on ensemble simulation techniques applied and hindcast ... -
Frontmatter: EnvirVis 2015 Workshop on Visualisation in Environmental Sciences

Animation of Clouds Based on the Interpolation of Weather Forecast Data
(The Eurographics Association, 2014)We present a novel algorithm for interpolating discrete cloud data of numerical weather forecasts over time. The interpolation provides a continuous natural transition of the cloud properties over time intervals of several ... -
Utilizing GeoTemCo for Visualizing Environmental Data
(The Eurographics Association, 2014)We demonstrate the use of the open source library GeoTemCo for the visualization and exploration of geospatialtemporal datasets from environmental sciences. With use cases from biodiversity, climatology and geophysics we ... -
WebGL-based Geodata Visualization for Policy Support and Decision Making
(The Eurographics Association, 2014)Accessible data visualizations are crucial to reaching a wide audience and supporting the decision making processes. With increasing support of WebGL and the new HTML5 standard, the Internet becomes an interesting platform ... -
Point-Based Rendering of Forest LiDAR
(The Eurographics Association, 2014)Airborne Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) is an increasingly important modality for remote sensing of forests. Unfortunately, the lack of smooth surfaces complicates visualization of LiDAR data and of the results of ... -
Simulating Urban Environments for Energy Analysis
(The Eurographics Association, 2014)We present new prototype tools for optimizing building solar energy impacts in urban regions, to enable better real-time control and policy decisions for energy supply and demand response. The concept is demonstrated with ... -
An Interactive Visualization Approach to Explore Mass Variations in the Earth System
(The Eurographics Association, 2014)We present an approach that supports the visual exploration of mass variations in the Earth system in space and time. In close collaboration with geo-scientists, we identified important requirements for our exploration ... -
Visualizing Saline Intrusion in a Three-Dimensional, Heterogeneous, Coastal Aquifer
(The Eurographics Association, 2013)We visualize remediation scenarios for a coastal aquifer in Oman, where the natural fresh-saltwater interface is negatively affected by groundwater pumping for irrigation. The 3D aquifer is characterized by strong ... -
Determining and Visualizing Potential Sources of Floods
(The Eurographics Association, 2013)In this paper, we visually analyze spatio-temporal patterns of different hydrologic parameters relevant for flooding. On the basis of data from climate simulations with a high resolution regional atmosphere model, several ... -
MO2GEO - a Small Tool for Registration and Visualization of Geological Data
(The Eurographics Association, 2013)Geological data have to be registered according to country-specific standards and visualized in 3D tools. Both topics are addressed by the tool MO2GEO, which is flexible enough to allow the insertion of common national ... -
Visual Analytics for Exploring Changes in Biodiversity
(The Eurographics Association, 2013)We report on ongoing work in which we are designing a visual interface to a large database of species observation data. Our design allows the data to be explored and visually summarised by space, time and species, helping ... -
Visualization of Urban Micro-Climate Simulations
(The Eurographics Association, 2013)Climate simulations range from projections with global coupled models of the earth system down to simulations of small scale phenomena, and can cover time scales between seconds up to thousands of years. This work focusses ... -
Visualisation Strategies for Modelling and Simulation Using Geoscientific Data
(The Eurographics Association, 2013)We present a number of strategies to visualise a wide range of geoscientific data for the modelling of natural phenomena. Input data sets as well as simulation results of hydrological or thermal processes can be assessed ... -
Rendering Technique of Multi-layered Domain Boundaries and its Application to Fluid Flow in Porous Media Visualizations
