Visualization and Sonification in Solid Earth Geosciences, What’s Next? 

The integration of visualization and sonification techniques, leveraging the human auditory and visual systems in tandem, has opened new avenues for understanding complex solid Earth processes and presenting them to a general audience. However, as the volume and complexity of geophysical data continue to grow, traditional high-level methods often fall short in conveying the significance of underlying patterns and insights. This session aims to explore developments in these areas, highlighting innovative methods and applications that enhance data interpretation, accessibility, and communication within and beyond the geoscience community.
We invite contributions that address the following topics:
- Novel visualization/sonification techniques for exploration of basic or high-resolution catalog data, multi-parameter timeseries, or multidisciplinary data.
- Case studies showcasing the impact of visualization/sonification on research, education and outreach.
- Applications of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) in enhancing visualization and sonification processes, applications in which ML/AI algorithms are developed through use of sonification/visualization, and other novel algorithms for mapping data to soundscapes.
- Future directions and challenges in the integration of these techniques in active research, citizen science projects, and public outreach.
