Visualising Disasters at Sea

Visualising Disasters at Sea
Seven Tenths of the Earth’s surface is covered in water. Beneath the surface of the Oceans lies evidence of centuries of human exploration in the form of shipwrecks. Our research is focused on using 3D visualisation to tell the stories of these wrecks and to reveal their potential risk to the natural environment. Using case studies including the Costa Concordia, Deepwater Horizon and HMS Royal Oak, this presentation will discuss how 3D data from historically significant or environmentally sensitive sub-sea sites can be captured and visualised to help inform risk-assessment, recovery, or containment.
