Here, we introduce the story of the research project AMA (A Mindset for the Anthropocene) on the role of mindsets in the context of sustainability and present an interactive visualization tool that we developed for stakeholder mapping and research communication. Through this platform, we provide access and navigation to everyone interested in this field of research and we have simultaneously created a channel for all stakeholders to co-create content. Here, we describe the design and functionalities of the platform and the participatory way it was developed as part of our stakeholder engagement. We discuss upon how such a design allows for reflection of potential biases in transdisciplinary research processes and simultaneously catalyzing self-organization in stakeholder networks.}, subject = {Stakeholder}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{GoodwinMeierBartrametal., author = {Goodwin, Sarah and Meier, Sebastian and Bartram, Lyn and Godwin, Alex and Nagel, Till and D{\"o}rk, Marian}, title = {Unravelling the Human Perspective and Considerations for Urban Data Visualization}, series = {2021 IEEE 14th Pacific Visualization Symposium (PacificVis)}, booktitle = {2021 IEEE 14th Pacific Visualization Symposium (PacificVis)}, publisher = {IEEE}, address = {New York}, organization = {The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)}, isbn = {978-1-6654-3931-2}, doi = {10.1109/PacificVis52677.2021.00024}, pages = {126 -- 130}, abstract = {Effective use of data is an essential asset to modern cities.

The mapping of large spatial data sets is not only of interest for experts anymore, but, with regard to the latest advances in web cartography, also moves into the domain of public cartographic applications. One interactive web-based cartographic interface design pattern that helps with visualizing and interacting with large, high density data sets is the marker cluster; a functionality already in use in many web-based products and solutions. In this article, the author will present their ongoing research on the problem of "too many markers." They will present an empirical evaluation and comparison of marker cluster techniques and similar approaches, including heatmaps and tiled heatmaps. They conclude with a first concept for overcoming some of the obstacles that they were able to identify in their study and thereby introduce a new direction for further research.}, subject = {Big Data}, language = {en} } @incollection{Meier, author = {Meier, Sebastian}, title = {Visualizing Large Spatial Time Series Data on Mobile Devices}, series = {Cartography : Maps Connecting the World}, booktitle = {Cartography : Maps Connecting the World}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Cham}, isbn = {978-3-319-17738-0}, issn = {1863-2351}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-319-17738-0_12}, publisher = {Fachhochschule Potsdam}, pages = {161 -- 173}, abstract = {This paper introduces an approach for visualizing large spatial time series data sets on mobile devices.

This chapter focuses on the technological advantages of the presented approach in a performance comparison with other common approaches. Furthermore, an animated time series visualization is introduced, as well as an interface designed specifically for the presented method in order to emphasize the advantages of the approach.
