COLLABORATING ON CLIMATE CHANGE IN 3D LANDSCAPES

Abstract

The software platform SIEVE can be used to automatically build immersive and interactive 3D landscape environments from spatial data infrastructures. These environments can be viewed with SIEVE Viewer, the visualisation component, which also provides a virtual collaboration platform. We are currently developing an application platform within SIEVE that will interface with the Victorian eResearch Strategic Initiative Ecoinformatics project on climate change. SIEVE is used as a 3D visualisation front-end for a number of different climate change models. Landscape scenarios will show the visual impact and the effect on agricultural productivity due to climate change, dependent on temperature ris..
