ENVIRVIS 2015 - EuroVis workshop on Visualization in Environmental Sciences

EnvirVis, the EuroVis workshop on Visualization in Environmental Sciences, will take place on May 25-26. Researchers in environmental sciences are faced with tremendously heterogeneous 3-D or 4-D data sets, ranging in spatial scales from micrometers to thousands of kilometers, and varying on time scales from milliseconds to millions of years. Due to the technical progress of monitoring devices as well as supercomputers, data sets are becoming more and more complex ? called “big data”. This makes scientific visualization indispensable for the analysis of large numbers of integrated data sets or uncertainties in high-resolution numerical models. The scientific ‘‘market’’ for visual data exploration is increasing as more and more visualization facilities become available to environmental research. This, in turn, encourages the development of scientific software specific to the visualization of environmental data. Such frameworks are also very well suited for educational and outreach purposes. The workshop will invite both contributions in the fields of scientific visualization and visual data integration with a broad application area in environmental research.
