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#: 13893

Session Description:
Geoscientists strive to find innovative ways to visualize and learn from large data sets and communicate the broader societal impacts of geoscience research. Aesthetically compelling visualizations can facilitate the creative exploration and understanding of scientific data. Integration of artistic and design principles into a research project can also provide new perspectives on the communication of those findings. This session features collaborations among researchers, artists, and designers who create works that highlight scientific findings and/or challenge colleagues to expand the way they communicate scientific research to diverse populations, inform policy and decision-making efforts, and promote the role of art in the geosciences. We encourage submissions of projects at all stages of development to facilitate dialogue and collaboration among an interdisciplinary group of geoscientists, educators, designers, filmmakers, and other creative professionals in the visual and performing arts fields.
