“…It has been argued that "visualisation has great potential to be used more extensively as a means to communicate and stimulate public willingness to engage with Immersive dome environments, interactive ICT-based decision arenas and 3D landscape visualization are but a few examples of how climate-related issues are visualized and thereby made tangible and concrete to lay audiences Neset et al, 2010;Niepold et al, 2008;Sheppard, 2005). In addition to common forms of data visualization through maps, charts and diagrams, Sheppard (2005) (Sheppard, 2005).…”

“…Another alternative is the 'Narrative inquiry' that is a discipline within the broader field of qualitative research, in which understanding of the natural world and science is via scientist narrative to the audience in explaining the meaning of things that have happened (e.g., Niepold et al 2009). New scanning multispectral techniques of satellites (e.g., MODIS satellites (KOSC 2012)) provide many examples of the fuzzy boundary between phenomenology and theory.…”

Future progress in Antarctic science: improving data care, sharing and collaboration

Data are the foundation of modern observational science. High-quality science relies on high quality data. In Antarctica, unlike elsewhere, researchers must disperse data and conduct science differently. They must work within the laws enacted under Antarctic Treaty that defines Antarctica as a continent for peace and science, where data sharing and international collaboration are requisite keystones. Scientists also work under oversight guidance of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR). In the last decade, rapid technological advances and vast increase in digital data volumes have changed the ways data are acquired, communicated, analysed, displayed and reported. Yet, the underlying science culture in which data are funded, utilised and cared for has changed little. Science-culture changes are needed for greater progress in Antarctic science.We briefly summarise and discuss aspects of Antarctic ‘data care’, which is a subset of data management. We offer perceptions on how changes to some aspects of current science-culture could inspire greater data sharing and international collaboration, to achieve greater success. The changes would place greater emphasis on data visualisation, higher national priority on data care, implementation of a data-library concept for data sharing, greater individual responsibility for data care, and further integration of cultural arts into data and science presentations.Much effort has gone into data management in the international community, and there are many excellent examples of successful collaborative Antarctic science programs within SCAR built on existing data sets. Yet, challenges in data care remain and specific suggestions we make deserve attention by the science community, to further promote peace and progress in Antarctic science.

“…The spatial distance between a reference location and its closest analog provides a quantitative index of the magnitude of projected climate change, while the mapped distribution of analogs provides a visual representation of this change. Geospatial visualizations enhance climate understanding in non-climate scientists (Jylha et al 2011;Niepold et al 2008), so by mapping the closest late 20th century analog, projected future climate change is placed in a context readily understood by the public and policy makers. Finally, results can be readily tailored to specific localities, thus providing concrete information about the potential local impacts of future climate change.…”

Identifying climatic analogs for Wisconsin under 21st-century climate-change scenarios

There is a deep disconnect between scientific and public concern about climate change. One reason is that global climate change is a fairly abstract concept with little perceived relevance, so a key challenge is to translate climate-change projections into locally concrete examples of potential impacts. Here we use climate analog analyses as an alternative method for identifying and communicating climate-change impacts. Our analysis uses multiple downscaled general circulation models for the state of Wisconsin, at 0.1 decimal degree resolution, and identifies contemporary locations in North America that are the most similar to the projected future climates for Wisconsin. We assess the
