Subjects: Categorical Data Analysis, Climate, Computer Sciences, Databases and Information Systems, Earth Sciences, Environmental Monitoring, Environmental Sciences, Environmental Studies, Fresh Water Studies, Geographic Information Sciences, Geophysics and Seismology, Glaciology, Graphics and Human Computer Interfaces, Hydrology, Longitudinal Data Analysis and Time Series, Meteorology, Other Earth Sciences, Other Statistics and Probability, Spatial Science

Modern-day data sets in geosciences may comprise hundreds or thousands of geolocated time series. Despite all the automated tools and new algorithms now available to process and prepare those data before using them in research projects, it can be useful or even necessary to visualise and investigate them manually. Whether it be for data quality assessment, for the preparation of a training data [...]

The open collection of geoscience graphics

Fabio Crameri, Grace Shephard, Eivind O. Straume

Subjects: Databases and Information Systems, Earth Sciences, Environmental Sciences, Graphics and Human Computer Interfaces, Instructional Media Design, Planetary Sciences

A standard internet image search on a geoscientific topic is common practice, and offers a plethora of images. However, the suggested images provide neither a guarantee in the accuracy of the science content being portrayed, nor in their visual accessibility or clarity. Being curated by both scientists and artists, the online s-ink collection (https://s-ink.org) is a sharing platform for high [...]

Ten Simple Rules for Researchers Who Want to Develop Web Apps

Growing interest in data-driven, decision-support tools across the life sciences and physical sciences has motivated development of web applications, also known as web apps. Web apps can help disseminate research findings and present research outputs in ways that are more accessible and meaningful to the general public--from individuals, to governments, to companies. Specifically, web apps enable [...]

This research introduces GeospatialVR, an open-source collaborative virtual reality framework to dynamically create 3D real-world environments that can be served on any web platform and accessed via desktop and mobile devices and virtual reality headsets. The framework can generate realistic simulations of desired locations entailing the terrain, elevation model, infrastructures, dynamic [...]

Visualizing the Availability of Temporally Structured Sensor Data

Daniel Nüst, Felix Bache, Arne Bröring, et al.

Published: 2019-09-28
Subjects: Computer Sciences, Graphics and Human Computer Interfaces, Physical Sciences and Mathematics

With the development of new sensor technologies and the standardization of sensor data formats, sensor data from different sources becomes available for many applications. A crucial task is to get an overview on the spatial and temporal extent for which data is available before integrating the data into an application. This work presents an approach for accessing the necessary information about [...]

A GEO label for the Sensor Web

Daniel Nüst, Victoria Lush

Published: 2019-09-28
Subjects: Computer Sciences, Graphics and Human Computer Interfaces, Physical Sciences and Mathematics

The GEO label is a visual metadata summary that is designed to improve understandability of geospatial metadata. The amount of sensor data collected via and published in Sensor Webs is steadily increasing and thus the published metadata becomes more diverse, more complex and harder to understand. To mitigate this issue, we transfer the GEO label into the Sensor Web architecture in an encompassing [...]

Markus Konkol, Christian Kray

Published: 2018-04-11
Subjects: Computer Sciences, Earth Sciences, Graphics and Human Computer Interfaces, Physical Sciences and Mathematics

Figures such as maps and time series are essential means to visualize spatio-temporal results in scientific papers. Being able to recompute them using the underlying source code and data is thus a core aspect in reproducible research. However, many scientists see the preparation of code and data for publication as an additional burden without immediate benefits. In this work, we investigate [...]
