Project Summary

The purpose of this project is to kick-start a highly innovative, creative and cross-institutional investigation into effective Visualization strategies for ecosystem services in Idaho. This endeavor will create a statewide visualization working group with participants from all three institutions and interested stakeholders and partners. Our emphasis is on developing intuitive 3D visual interfaces to enable researchers, stakeholders and the public to interactively view modeling products emerging from the MILES program.
