Müglitz Catchment, Germany - Virtual Geographic Environment
A visualisation study submitted to the EuroVis workshop on Visualization in Environmental Sciences. We present a prototype for an Environmental Information System for the Müglitz Catchment, located in Saxony, Germany.
We have presented this virtual environment at EuroVis 2021 in Zurich, Switzerland: • EuroVis 2021: EnvirVis 2 - Interactive Dig...

The hydrological study in the Müglitz catchment is part of the MOSES initiative (Modular Observation Solutions for Earth Systems, https://www.ufz.de/moses, coordinated by UFZ) investigating the impact extreme meteorological events on local hydrological processes. This visualisation study is also a result of a close collaboration of the ESM and Digital Earth initiatives combining the expertise in monitoring and modelling environmental processes in a Virtual Reality framework.
