Explains how geographical information systems are an excellent candidate to benefit from scientific visualization, a computer method of presenting data graphically in order to enhance its readability or to reveal or demonstrate unsuspected patterns, regularities, or connections. The 23 papers were invited and reviewed before being presented to a summer 1992 workshop in Loughborough, UK. Among the topics are the state of the art in visualization software, destiny estimation and the visualization of point patterns, visualizing contour interpolation accuracy in digital elevation models, and epistemological aspects.
