Summary
The First Dedicated Visualisation Workstation for “Virtual Geoscience” in Ireland
The visualisations of 3-dimensional data sets have demonstrable potential to solve a wide range of long-standing problems in the Earth sciences. Below are a series of geological/palaeontological case studies involving discrete data types to which the acquired workstation will be applied:
- Neutron tomography
- Synchrotron X-ray tomography
- X-ray microtomography (micro-CT, µCT)
- Photogrammetry and laser surface scanning
Aims
To address the rising need by establishing a workstation that will service the Earth science community of Ireland. The workstation is designed to visualise the 3- dimensional surface and volume data of objects on all scales.
