SCEC Visualizations

SCEC researchers produce a large number and wide variety of scientific movies and animations in order to better understand research results, and to convey these results to other scientists, and the general public. SCEC Visualization Projects include SDSC, PSC, USC, and SCEC Interns. Below are links to resource providers and recent examples of their work.

Recent SCEC Visualization Highlights

The first to animations are narrated showing new techniques for visualizing 4D vector fields. Work was done by Amit Chourasia and Emmett Smith J.B. Minster while working as a SCEC Intern.
