Abstract

The linking of interactive concept models (ICM) into the visual geophysical exploration environment (VGEE) to foster analytical thought in students is discussed. The El Nino phenomenon was chosen as a prototype topic based on its global scale and awareness as well as its ties to the ocean, atmosphere and society. Development on VGEE began on building a curriculum, developing concept models, and constructing a visualization model. The ability to link interactive concept models into a fully-interactive data visualization environment gives a rare opportunity to place powerful visualization tools into the hands of students.
