Data visualisations

Data visualisations are graphical representations of scientific data, using tools like axes, scales, and colour gradients to quantify and display information. Through charts, graphs, and plots, they help users spot patterns, trends, and insights, making complex data easier to interpret, understand, and communicate effectively.

3-D spherical Geoid globe animated by Fabio Crameri

Geoid Animation

Animated globe illustrating the Geoid height, highlighting variations in the Earth's gravitational pull caused by uneven mass distribution.

Geoid Globe

The geoid represents the wavy surface of sea level across the Earth's uneven mass distribution, influenced by terrain and density variations.

Hemispherical maps of Lunar surface topography showing near and far sides of the Moon.

Moon Surface Elevation

Hemispherical maps of the Moon reveal that its far side is more heavily cratered than the near side due to a thinner crust on the latter, which allowed volcanic activity to create smooth “maria”.

Projected (historical and future) global annual mean sea-level relative to the 1986–2005 reference period.

Sea-Level Evolution

Projections of global annual mean sea-level changes, referencing a baseline from 1986–2005.

Ozone Hole Evolution

Annual evolution of the Earth's "Ozone Hole" over Antarctica from 1970 to 2023.

Animation of the yearly evolution of the Earth's ozone layer from 1970 to 2023. It highlights the ozone depletion, particularly over Antarctica, leading to the "ozone hole".
