Topics
The workshop’s objective was to get insight into working group members’ research and to identify common interests for further collaborative work. Ten presentations addressed various thematic and methodical issues related to visualization, visual analytics, data analysis and modelling.
- Christian Hege: Visualization and Data Analysis at Zuse Institute Berlin
- Ingrid Hotz: Visualizaton of Vector- and Tensor fields
- Doris Dransch: Geo Visual Analytics for the Assessment of Simulation Models and Risk Communication
- Mike Sips: A View on Visual Analytics
- Frank Scherbaum: Mapping Uncertainties in Seismic Hazard Analysis using High-Dimensional Visualization
- Matthias Ohrnberger, Carsten Riggelsen, Conny Hammer: Seismic Waveform Classification
- Nikos Gianniotis: Ensembles of Ground Motion Models
- Nico Kühn: Bayesian Networks and Ground Motion Models
- Lilian Blaser: Bayesian Networks for Tsunami Early Warning
- Tobia Lakes: Approaches in Land Use Modelling
In the final discussion the workshop members emphasized the necessity to strengthen and contribute to a more geoscientific-oriented type of geoinformatics which deals with geoscientific challenges and requirements. The working group wants to bring forward the collaboration between domain experts and computer scientists to develop enhanced geoinformatics concepts and methods supporting geoscientific data exploration, analysis and modelling. Scientific challenges have to be defined where both, computer scientists and domain experts, can contribute with its expertise. A first issue could be “How to deal with uncertainty?” The Geo.X AK Geoinformatik will meet again in January to discuss in more detail topics of interest and means for collaboration.
Further activities
A Geo.X AK Geoinformatik website will be implemented. All workshop slides will be presented at the website
