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.
