What is Eonfusion? A universal, scientific level software solution for integrating,
visualising and analysing diverse sets of coincident environmental data
A versatile application that handles modeled, empirical and near real time environmental data
Fills the gap between the capabilities of GIS, statistical analysis, graphing, visualisation and programming packages
• Data model is 4D + features• Memory management designed for large data sets• Data flow modeling• Genuine 4D topology model and graphics engine• Fuses disparate data types in an integrated context• Support for user coding (API)• Intuitive user interface and coding environmental• Attribute migration• Partitions and classifies data to generate higher
dimensional objects

Example Applications
Elkhorn Slough is a shallow-water embayment that is part of a 585-km2 watershed at the easternmost extent of the Monterey Bay in California. In 1974 the shoreline dunes were
breached to extend the harbour leading to significant erosion of the channel during tidal cycling and exposure of vulnerable salt marsh habitats to rising sea levels. In a holistic approach to assessing ecosystem wide processes arising from the breach scientists and engineers have utilised Eonfusion to rapidly assess the impact of altered flow dynamics and rising sea level
scenarios on the vulnerable ecosystems.

Change Detection
Change in surface morphology between Winter and Autumn 2006 indicating sediment deposition
Detecting changes in surface morphology using multi-beam bathymetry data collected over Monterey Canyon, canyon between 2003 and 2006. Using Eonfusion’s Expression Evaluator, depth attributes from consecutive surveys were used to calculate the change in surface morphology with the magnitude represented inside the scene view (dark blue colouration indicate areas of erosion through to dark red for areas of deposition). Eonfusion's time slider allows the easy transition between survey grids for rapid assessment of both intra and inter-annual change.
