Oceanographers Use IDL to Visualize World Topography Customer Challenge Oceanographers at Millersville University Earth Sciences Department needed a solution for displaying and analyzing large, complex data sets in an easy-to-use graphical user interface. Solution Achieved Because oceans vary dramatically in depth and elevation, massive amounts of data on land elevation, ocean depth, contours and water properties must be collected and analyzed. These complex data require a robust software program that can quickly process and display the information in a meaningful and informative way. At the Millersville University Earth Sciences Department, data comes largely from federal government laboratories and includes a range of data types such as earth surface elevation, seawater properties, and
