Overview of High-Performance Query Driven Visual Explorations of Large-Scale Biodiversity and Environmental Data

As a researcher that is trained in both Geography and Computer Science, I have long-term research interests in realizing the "Digital Earth" vision. Over the past few years, we have developed quite a few prototypes for both vector and raster geospatial data with applications to biodiversity data explorations, remote sensing data understanding and their combinations. While our proposals along the direction have not had a chance to be externally funded, we are working actively with multi-disciplinary researchers to advance our research interests in the important research area.

Proposal 1: Query-Driven Visual Explorations of Large-Scale Raster Geospatial Data in Personal and Multimodal Parallel Computing Environments (14 pages) [PDF]

Proposal 2: HERCULES: High Performance Computing Primitives for Visual Explorations of Large-Scale Biodiversity Data (15 pages) [PDF]
