... 26 ACADEMIC RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT The breadth and depth of academic R&D bodes well for the future of GDV. For example: • The University of Utah's Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute's visualization projects include modeling, display, and understanding uncertainty for policy decision making; situational awareness visualization; and more general studies of uncertainty visualization.

... 28 and projection of that understanding into the near future. The study and application of these concepts has been part of such fields as military command and control, air traffic control, and civilian emergency response for many years; but recent research has begun to suggest how they might be applied to visualizing the elements of situational awareness, which requires the rapid integration of many types of data from multiple sources -- including the possibility of incorporating geotechnical data in the immediate response to geotechnical disasters and extreme events.
