3D Models Sound Cool—But Are They Really Worth Creating? 3D modeling has become a buzzword across the geoscience and engineering community, and for good reason. From effectively visualizing subsurface features to clearly communicating project results to stakeholders, 3D models offer a level of precision and [...]
Scientists and Students at the University of Montana Are Helping Update an Archive That’s Empowering Engineers, Communities, and More Dr. Anna Klene, a Professor of Geography at the University of Montana, has a long history with data visualization tools. She’s putting that history to work [...]
Sinkhole Analysis Starts Here: How a Regional Hydrologist Unlocks the Power of the Peaks and Depressions Map Type For geoscientists and hydrologists, identifying and mapping sinkholes is a critical step in a wide range of projects, from managing natural hazards to protecting sensitive cave environments. [...]
How 3D Visualization Is Improving Data Communication in Environmental Consulting Environmental projects depend on more than collecting accurate data; they depend on communicating it clearly. Whether you’re mapping subsurface contamination, modeling terrain, or tracking changes over time, the datasets behind these efforts are often large, [...]
Top Ways 3D Data Visualization Is Innovating Water Resource Management Water resources—whether aquifers, rivers, or lakes—don’t exist in flat layers. They move, interact, and evolve in three-dimensional space. Yet, for decades, it’s been common to try to visualize and understand these systems using 2D maps [...]
