Wondering where to start with data visualization? In the Midwest Climate Adaptation Science Center's March Science Seminar, Cee Nell and Althea Archer of the USGS Vizlab shared their expertise in using visual design to communicate science to the public. Attendees learned about the design process, got tips on accessible and engaging design, and were inspired by a variety of different projects!
The USGS Vizlab is a data visualization team that strives to make water science fun and accessible. They are part of the Data Science Branch of the USGS Water Mission Area.
