About VolGIS
VolGIS is a new volcano-oriented Geographic Information System for multidisciplinary volcano analysis.
It offers the possibility to analyse, model and visualise different volcano-related available data in a user-friendly high-resolution visualisation environment.
Someone once asked me:
“Why are you developing another Geographic Information System when others software are available?”
- It is open source
- It lets you analise, model and visualise all in one
- It works in a real 3D environment
- It can make 4D analysis
- It is volcano oriented
At this stage VolGIS is written in Processing, but further implementation may be done using Python and/or OpenGL.
In my plan there would be also as a Web-GIS application.
The last version is the 2.5, presented at Cities on Volcanoes 10 in Naples, Italy.
Features of VolGIS
Grid Subdivision
Earthquakes Visualization
Density Analysis
Overlap Maps
Isosurfaces
Cropbox for Detail Analysis
What More?
- Change coordinate system
- The possibility to add "sub-cubes" to analyse specif volume
- 4D analysis
Working On:
- Global extent (basic function automatically extended to all volcanoes)
- Upload shapefile (*.shp) module
Request a Demo
The code is not published yet because I am writing the relative paper.
This demo version is developed using Mt.Etna as a model (paper in review).
