Vortragsabstract
Dr. Felicia Brisc (University of Hamburg, Institute of Oceanography) will give insights into the scientific visualization of data in Climate Sciences. Dr. Brisc is a member of the integrated team ‘3D-visualization’ of the Cluster of Excellence ‘CLiSAP’, Hamburg, where she is responsible for 3D visualization, remote sensing and assimilation. With increasing computer power, climate simulations and observations generate increasingly large data sets. Often the size, complexity and temporal variations make it challenging to understand the data efficiently. In this context, scientific visualization refers to a collection of techniques that enable mapping data onto visual elements, with the goal to provide effective understanding and insight into this data. This lecture will introduce participants to the key role played by visualization in the scientific discovery and communication workflows. Dr. Brisc will address the following topics:
- History and color theory
- Visual metaphors
- Visualization software, resources and technical challenges
- State-of-the-art visualization techniques
- Display methods and devices – from computer screen to virtual and immersive 3D worlds
