Mul0ple Approaches
Connecticut State Data Center & Map and Geographic Information Center - MAGIC
Why Visualize Data?
• Spreadsheets are great… but it’s difficult to understand with large datasets
• Examine Concepts from mul0ple perspec0ve – Spa0al – Temporal
• Integrate data from mul0ple sources • Ex. Fault lines, earthquakes, and popula0on data
• Interac0ve ≠ expensive or difficult
