Creative Informatics for the Earth
Session Concept:
In order to help people discover new perspectives of the Earth, we have been trying to collect a wide range of global data and to develop new methods for visualising them in collaboration with a variety of stakeholders. To achieve this goal, we engage in the following activities:
1. Collecting many types of scientific data related to the Earth – cooperation with scientists and research institutions
2. Collecting various social data – cooperation with companies
3. Developing new attractive visualisation methods – cooperation with creators
In this session, we will show some specific examples of cooperation with these stakeholders, and will discuss the roles of science museums in creating new points of view of the Earth and its sustainability.
