Visualizing the Energy and Public Health Relationship
If we gather GIS data about energy sources and public health and make this available in an open source manner, this will enhance the ability of public officials, citizens, and everyone involved to make better public policies.
The Center for Visualization and Virtual Environments
Vis Center
- The Vis Center seeks to create technology that transforms how we see the world.
- Multi-disciplinary research projects encompass the fields of engineering, history, medicine, science, technology and art.
The Center for Visualization and Virtual Environments
EDUCEThe EDUCE project is
developing a hardware and software system for the virtual unwrapping and visualization of ancient texts. The overall purpose is to capture in digital form fragile 3D texts using a custom built, portable, multi-power CT scanning device and then to virtually "unroll" the scroll.

- What are some health risks associated with mining?
- physical hazards of mining
- chronic heart, lung, kidney diseases
- hypertension
- repetitive motion – carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis
- noise-induced hearing lose
- water sources contaminated with domino affects

Visualizing the Energy and Public Health Relationship
The study, "Relations between Health Indicators and Residential Proximity to Coal Mining in West Virginia," found that in the 14 counties where the biggest coal mining operations are located residents reported higher rates of cardiopulmonary disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, hypertension, diabetes, and lung and kidney disease. In each of those counties, mining topped 4 million tons of coal a year.
