giCentre at IEEE Information Visualization
Jason Dykes, Jo Wood and Aidan Slingsby presented their work IEEE Information Visualization conference this autumn in Sacramento, California. This prestigious meeting has a 24% acceptance rate and so it was particularly impressive for the giCentre to be represented so strongly with contributions on using Google Earth for visualization and visualizing local statistics.
The two papers are entitled 'Geographically Weighted Visualization: Interactive Graphics for Scale-Varying Exploratory Analysis' and 'Interactive Visual Exploration of a Large Spatio-temporal Dataset: Reflections on a Geovisualization Mashup'. They appear in the November / December issue of IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics (Vol. 13, No. 6) pp. 1161-1168, 1176-1183 :

Jason and Aidan visited the state of the art visualization facility at UC Davis. Jason and Jo also ran a successful tutorial entitled 'Visualization with Google Earth and GIS'. You can try the tutorial out online :
