| Description | Visual analytics approaches bring an innovative and effective way how to deliver the knowledge from a particular domain to an individual user. With the use of visual analytics methods we can easily discover the unexpected relations and interesting patterns, which are hidden in the huge data warehouses. It builds on the human mind’s ability to understand the complex visualization of information. In this paper we introduce the potential usefulness of visual analytics for researchers working in the field of environmental informatics. Current challenges beyond the survey are described here, including the summary of particular well-proven tools and scenarios, which can be applied in many various fields of environmental research. |
