IN53B:
Leveraging Global Grid Systems to Facilitate Data Fusion and Visualization from Local to Global Scales Posters

Submit an Abstract to this Session Please know the abstract submission deadline has passed. There are no exceptions to this deadline and no new abstracts can be submitted.
You can still search the program to see your colleague�s abstract submissions as well as the sessions submitted for the 2016 Fall Meeting. The final program will be released in early October.


Session ID#: 13369

Session Description:
The data collected to understand the Earth and its various systems can come in different forms.  Increasingly these data are accessed through the web from multiple distributed data stores.  Before analysis can take place, various data processing, interpolation and other process are often required to convert these data into a client specific grid representation. This can lead to the introduction of errors due to the different resolutions, style and structure of the original data compared to the that of the client grids. The emergence of new grid infrastructures, such as Discrete Global Grid Systems, is driving the development of new approaches that allow for fast visualization, fusion and sharing of data that can scale appropriately through multiple resolutions from local to global scales. This session seeks papers that discuss and showcase grid-based solutions that improve data exchange and visualization of Big Earth Data.
