Jongsun Kim
University of Texas Rio Grande Valley
Dr. Jongsun Kim is an assistant professor at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, School of Earth, Environmental, and Marine Sciences (SEEMS) expert in coastal system models and marine biogeochemistry. He is currently working on completing the final testing of the entire 3D CoSiNE model implementation in Narragansett Bay. Also, he is developing an intermediate model parametrization performance for benthic ecology in which he is running a 1D CoSiNE benthic-pelagic model to build the benthos module of the model.
Patricia Thibodeau
University of Rhode Island, Graduate School of Oceanography
Dr. Patricia Thibodeau is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Rhode Island, Graduate School of Oceanography, specializing in plankton ecology. Her research specializes in plankton time series analysis, and she is currently analyzing a long-term plankton time-series in Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island, USA. This 60-year dataset provides her a unique opportunity to experiment with data visualization techniques as a science communication and data analysis tool.
Collection Overview
We propose this Methods Collection to showcase methods for visualizing data science in Marine Sciences. The collection is designed to challenge scientific visualization’s existing analytic/communicative dialectic to reimagine visualization as an evolving inquiry process, inseparable from the research itself, a topic introduced by the RI C-AIM Vis-a-thon program.
In addition, it will show the audience the strengths of data visualization in marine science and environmental sciences as a scientific communication tool with ideas for introducing their scientific output with different methodology. We invite traditional data visualization experiments (e.g., computer simulations, graphs, and models) and art-based visualization methods. We encourage collaborative experiments with new and innovative ways to create and use visual imagery and language to illustrate phenomena within marine/earth and environmental sciences.
