Abstract
Geo-visualization refers to a set of tools and
techniques supporting geospatial data analysis through the use of
interactive visualization. With a large portion of digital data
generated today includes geospatial reference, geo-visualization
technologies become increasingly important and evolve rapidly every
day. This presentation will focus on a series of existing geo-
visualization applications using Google Earth. These applications
cover different domains ranging from Global Climate Change, Global
Snow/Soil Distribution, and Global Precipitation to Global Environment
for Network Innovations projects and Geo-visualization projects for
the worlds largest satellite images distribution systems hosted by
the USGS Data Center for Earth Resources Observation Systems (EROS).
