Specifically, theoretical and empirical contributions are exploring the human-geovisualization display interface. This includes geovisualization design research (2D/3D, animated/virtual/immersive, static/interactive/mobile, etc.), the application of cognitive theories and methods to understanding geovisualization displays and geovis tool use, the application of geovisualization displays and tools to understanding spatial cognition, as well as reasoning, inference, and decision making with geovisualization displays and tools, including human-geovisualization interaction research.
