In the last few decades, there has been a tremendous explosion of research and data. Scientific visualization plays an increasingly important role in making new discoveries, gaining new and better insight and validation from these data. In this session we will cover the basic foundations of modern scientific visualization. We will discuss some of the basis principals, methods and techniques for transforming scientific data into state of the art visualizations. Topics will include data preparation, the modern graphics pipelines, visualization tools and methods as well as a brief introduction to color theory and perception.
