  • Abstract
    The authors present a geographic clustering technique which unambiguously locates, characterizes, and visualizes ecoregions and their borders. When coded with similarity colors, it can produce planar map views with sharpness contours that are visually rich in ecological information and represent integrated visualizations of complex and massive environmental data sets
