Lab for Geoinformatics and Geovisualization

Research at the Lab for Geoinformatics and Geovisualization (g2lab) is guided by the following ideas:
.. visualizing spatio-temporal data enables understanding of complex problems and decision making
.. applying task-oriented approaches generates effective and efficient visualizations
.. modeling and communicating uncertainties makes decisions more certain

Successful PhD candidate: Bonan Wei

Bonan Wei successfully finished his dissertation entitled "Adpation of the zoom-level in mobile maps for self-localisation purposes"
