The Earth Systems Visualization laboratory at the ISGS was developed to support the integration of advanced visualization and analysis tools in earth science research. The ESVL houses a large-screen visualization room, 2 high-end computers, 18Tb of storage space, internet connectivity, and a range of software for state-of-the-art visualization and analysis of spatial data, 3-D geologic mapping, and 3-D geologic modeling. The Lab is designed to provide a collaborative space for researchers, both individuals and groups of between 2 and 15, and can accommodate the installation of additional hardware and software on request. Current scheduled services include:
