Visualizing with Purpose: How to Tell a Clear Story with Your Subsurface Data

How do you turn complex subsurface data into a clear, compelling story? Whether you need to explore a 3D model, isolate areas of interest, examine data along a specific path, or create 2D maps that communicate your findings, effective visualization can make all the difference.

Join Surfer Pro Drew Dudley as he demonstrates practical 3D visualization and data exploration workflows designed to help you better understand your subsurface data, uncover important details, and communicate your results with confidence.

Through real-world examples, you’ll learn how to interact with 3D models, focus on areas of interest, create slices through your data, and transform those slices into useful 2D cross sections.

In this session, we’ll specifically cover how to:

• Use multiple clipping planes to isolate and examine specific areas of a 3D model
• Apply 3D grid filtering to focus your analysis on the data that matters most
• Create image and contour slices along paths to explore subsurface features
• Save image and contour slices as grids to create 2D cross sections
• Add document comments to enhance collaboration and provide project context
• Display legends for base layers that don’t use symbology for clearer, more informative visualizations

This webinar is ideal for:

• Environmental professionals, hydrogeologists, geologists, geophysicists, engineers, and other subsurface professionals
• Professionals who need to communicate complex subsurface data clearly and effectively
• Anyone looking to gain new insights from 3D models and 2D cross sections
• Professionals who want to create clearer, more impactful visualizations for clients, colleagues, and stakeholders
