Abstract :
IceXplorer is a tool for analyzing variations in ice cover on Lake Erie. It enhances the data and pre-packaged analysis currently available in the great lakes ice atlas and serves as an example of a small, focused application where simple but carefully-chosen visualizations, interaction techniques, and automated data analysis are combined to create an effective tool for advancing scientific research.
