Geo-visualisation is a rather new tool for understanding, interpretation and assessment of environmental data. Geo-visualisation of landscape patterns and processes offers an innovative approach to present and discuss results of data collection, data analysis and data simulation. Cartography and scientific graphics form the roots of geo-visualisation however it is all based on the digital principles of Geographical Information Systems.
The course provides an overview of the different forms of geovisualisation. Aspects of presentation and the criteria to develop and to use such geo-visualisations will be discussed.
The course addresses young scientists of different fields and disciplines such as environmental scientists, land use planners and ecologists who are interested in learning the techniques and fundamentals of geovisualisation. Target participants are PhD students and early-stage researchers (e.g. post-doctoral researchers), who will benefit from the interdisciplinary approach intended by this course.

Each month we select a hot topic and a leading figure in the industry to write about it.How valuable are our efforts on SDIs if we don’t actively address the human issues? Think about all the government regulations, technical implementation plans, internal processes and procedures, data sharing networks and so on. These are arguably meaningless if there is no buy-in or understanding from the people who must deliver against them.
During the 1Spatial Conference 2008 where there was a large number of presentations on a wide range of important industry topics ranging from data quality, data integration and data maintenance to open source and INSPIRE. But there were very few presentations that focused on the human aspects of our business.… More…
