Visualizations

NASA World Wind

http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/

World Wind lets you zoom from satellite altitude into any place on Earth. Leveraging Landsat satellite imagery and Shuttle Radar Topography Mission data, World Wind lets you experience Earth terrain in visually rich 3D, just as if you were really there. Virtually visit any place in the world. Look across the Andes, into the Grand Canyon, over the Alps, or along the African Sahara.

Please Note: NASA World Wind is an application that must be downloaded from the NASA World Wind website. It benefits from a computer bought in the last two years with a video card with 3D acceleration and a fast internet connection. You must also have at least 5 GB of disk space available.

NASA Goddard Flight Center Scientific Visualization Studio

http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/

The mission of the Scientific Visualization Studio (SVS) is to facilitate scientific inquiry and outreach within NASA programs through visualization of products, systems, and processes in order to promote a greater understanding of Earth and Space Science. This website provides download access to all visualizations created by SVS (currently totalling over 2,500). See example.

Visualizing Topography and Geology

Dr. Stephen J. Reynolds, a geology professor at Arizona State University, has created a website to demonstrate inexpensive (and low bandwidth) ways to dynamically visualize topography and geology. His website includes numerous color photographs, 3D perspectives and information about the geology of Arizona, the landscapes of the southwest and structural geology.

Decision Theater

The Decision Theater at Arizona State University is a world-class facility for science-based, informed analysis to help the community and policy makers visualize the future through alternate scenarios. It provides animmersive experience using a 270-degree rear projection screen with

GeoDIVA: Geographic Data & Information Visualization & Analysis

GeoDIVA aids in the oline visualization and analysis of multi-temporal spatial and tabular data. The beta version of GeoDIVA is currently available. This application will eventually be integral to decision support tools such as RangeView. For more information on RangeView, please see our page.
