“…The most significant ability of the internet module is the presentation of new datasets from laboratory work, field research, and remote sensing together with metadata of diverse geoscientific data in a way to make it more useful to scientists but also to the interested public. Based on an earlier version (e.g., Mohr and Götze [2] or Götze et al [3]), the actual SFB web site has been turned into a geo-service tool, which provides data, metadata, and numerical tools for 3D modeling, mapping, and visualization. This is achieved by the introduction of a metadata catalog providing detailed International Journal of Geophysics descriptions for each dataset.…”

In the last years new methods of data acquisition and processing in geosciences, inspired by growing computer performance, have led to an increased amount of data, and this development will proceed surely. In this paper we present the conception and technical realization of an interdisciplinary research group's geodata management as a combination of a metadata catalog together with web mapping technology. Clearly related with the storage and retrieval of different datasets is the need of visualization. 3D visualization in geoscientific interpretation is a useful tool, if numerous, heterogenic datasets have to be visualized at the same time. Moreover, advanced sensing technology often generates native three-dimensional datasets. Using a case study from the Collaborative Research Centre “SFB 574”, we present the possibilities of our stereoscopic projection system and want to explain the benefit of 3D visualization for research in general and university education in particular, as low-cost systems become available nowadays.
