Web-based warning system for volcanoes

Project carried out between 2000 and 2003 with international partners and EU funding.

Goals

Development of a Web tool for managing and analyzing multi-disciplinary volcanological data-sets for Geowarn, a natural-hazard analysis project.

Results

Implemented a client-server geovisualization tool for displaying and analysing four-dimensional data series. Techniques used: Java Servlets and EJB, Java Applet with SVG.

tomography

Part of the developed Web tool: analysis of tomographic voxel data with cross sections.
