ESSI4.2

Public information:

Data visualization is fundamental to science: to discovery, to interpretation, and to communication. This is especially true in this era of big and complex datasets, increasing scientific specialization and the need to effectively communicate ideas and results to diverse audiences.

This session will explore innovations in science data visualization that support and advance elements of the scientific process – from exploration and analysis to discovery and communication. We will showcase science visualization breakthroughs that allow researchers and others to broaden their understanding of natural phenomena and communicate that understanding.

Topics include (but not limited to):
- Visualizing massive datasets
- Combined visualization of multiple datasets
- Extracting new and/or additional meaning through visualization
- Visualization and human perception
- Focused research and development activities regarding visualization elements (e.g., colors, patterns, shading, 3D, etc.)
- New and inventive science visualization tools and applications (e.g., virtual, augmented and mixed reality: VR/AR/MR)
