ISSUE

This year almost all challenges involves some data visualisation on Earth.

To make it happens, any team needs to create a nice Earth model, regardless the type of data they have. Only after that they may put data on it.

SOLUTION

We decide to help our colleagues and any future enthusiasts, civil researshes. Our team develop a tool that visualise datasets on Earth model.

HOW IT WORKS

Data owners just put their dataset in *.json, *.csv or *.xls format into ERVIZ. Then:

• ERVIZ recognises geo coordinates and put marks on Earth model
• other fields may be used as filters.
• values of some fields may define marks color, radius and intensity.
• if time-date field is defined, it may be used for creating dynamic animation.

Any user may save its work without registration and share visualisation with friend via social media.

IMPACT

1. This tool eliminate entry barriers for researches and dataowners that don't have strong technical background.
2. ERVIZ helps researches to promote their work results via social media. It awares more people about science work importance and involve more participants in research community.
3. ERVIZ saves all datasets that were downloaded. This data may be used by other scientits in their visualisation. Thus we create the open storage fo Earth data and collaboration platform.

RESULTS

• flexible Earth-data visualization saves scientists time
• wide community awarness
• single open data storage
• easy to use collaborative tool
