About the Conference

Geographical visualization, otherwise geovisualization, is a dynamic and evolving field that leverages various techniques to represent spatial data visually. Geovisualization is a powerful tool that enhances our understanding of geographical entities and supports decision-making across various fields. For instance, environmental monitoring utilizes geovisualization to track changes like deforestation and climate shifts. Disaster management benefits from mapping affected areas and planning evacuations. Geovisualization helps monitoring crop health and resource allocation. In urban planning, it helps design efficient cities by analyzing population density and land use. Public health uses it to visualize disease spread and healthcare access. Transportation and logistics improve route planning and traffic management. In real estate, it aids in analyzing property locations. Additionally, it's employed in military strategy, education, and tourism to enhance decision-making and user engagement. With the advent of big data, geovisualization tools are increasingly integrating large datasets from various sources, including satellite imagery, sensors, and social media.

Overall, a geographical visualization can help identify region-specific challenges and opportunities, and promote tailored solutions that are effective and efficient. With this background, the Department of Geography, Central University of Tamil Nadu, Thiruvarur is organizing its flagship programme, GeoVista 2025, a scientific platform to enhance geographical visualization across the disciplines.

In addition to the scientific deliberations, the GeoVista 2025 hosts Talent Hunt to attract young talents in the field of Geographical Visualization. Please visit the Talent Hunt tab for more details.
