MULTIMEDIA PUBLICATIONS OF SCIENTIFIC VISUALIZATION RESULTS USING THE INTERACTIVE IMAGE SPREADSHEET (IISS) TOOL PIONEERED BY K. PALANIAPPAN AND A.F. HASLER
I have included below what I consider to be the major creative works where the results of visualizations were produced directly by myself, or as part of a team, or for which I was instrumental in developing special software to produce the digital visualization, or an article about my work for which I produced imagery. I have not included an enormous number of secondary appearances of my visualization work such as commercials, print advertising, images in board games (i.e. a millenium edition of Monopoly), calendars, clothing, mouse pads, corporate brochures, posters, etc. This is too difficult to track since NASA does not copyright any image produced by its scientists or engineers and anyone can download these digital visualizations from the Web and incorporate the image as part of their material without any acknowledgement.
