Abstract
Testing geovisualisations for effective environmental engineering decision-making
Highlights
Treating geovisualisations as a formal communication tool allows for improved map and graphical understanding, reducing the loss of information within the communication system (MacEachren, 1995)
Decisions within the Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) process tend to assess the likely significant environmental effects arising from proposed development, in a systematic, data informed system, allowing for a reduction in risk of damage to the environment (Town and Country Planning Regulations, 2011)
Much of the data generated for EIA is processed through models and analysis, meaning there are margins of error and uncertainty present in the data
Summary
Treating geovisualisations as a formal communication tool allows for improved map and graphical understanding, reducing the loss of information within the communication system (MacEachren, 1995). Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs), legally embedded in engineering practice as an EU directive, use a combination of data types, sourced from numerous disciplines.
