Geo-Visualization with Virtual Globes
Virtual Globes such as Google Earth and NASA World Wind represent an incredibly engaging way for scientists to communicate their ideas. Ever since these tools first appeared the Earth Science community has been busy leveraging their ability to place data in geographical context, mashing data sets together, creating time-lapse animations and producing 3D representations Read More.
As in previous years (AGU 2006, AGU 2007 and AGU 2008) interactive demonstrations will replace the traditional poster sessions (Read More). In addition to these sessions, there will also be oral presentations. These talks will be broadcast via live webcasts, similar to the 2008 keynote address by Michael T. Jones. A full schedule of this year's Virtual Globes talks and demonstrations will be available on here in mid-October.
