The Scientific Visualization Studio (SVS), Conceptual Image Lab (CI Lab) and Goddard Media Studios have teamed up to create "visualizations, animations, and images in order to promote a greater understanding of Earth and Space Science research activities at NASA and within the academic research community supported by NASA." These creations are organized into a number of galleries, including Mars Missions and Science, NASA's Heliophysics Gallery, and The View from Space: Data Visualizations and Hurricane Katrina. Alternatively, visitors can also explore these visualizations by keyword. As of this write up, the most recent visualizations are two animations that portray the precipitation patterns in California and across the globe during February 2017. Another visualization illustrates how deforestation has reduced chimpanzee habitats in Tanzania. Collectively, these visualizations highlight both the diversity of NASA's research efforts along with a number of environmental, geological, and astronomical phenomena.
