Abstract

This paper attempts to show the great changes in natural and urban environment geo-visualization
that have taken place over recent decades. It emphasizes the role of 3D geo-visualization as applied
to every territorial and environmental discipline, where 3D displays and then the addition of the
temporal dimension (4D) have provided new windows for visualization, up to and including real
time products. Increasing overall digital geo-data production, access to the Digital Elevation Model
along with the contributions made by new sensors (remote sensing, Lidar, GPS, etc), the new
possibilities offered by 3D software (GIS, CAD, etc) and the way in which web-based 3D viewer has
become popular (virtual globes and cities), all these have offered new opportunities for the
technical trained as well as for scientists and even the citizen in the street, we are told. Further to
the afore-mentioned, the author sees easy access to multi-temporal geo-data (especially via OGC
interoperable services and NSDI), the worldwide installation of fi xed or satellite-based sensors for
geo-data monitoring, as well as the new data obtained from the citizens through internet (web 2.0)
as offering new opportunities and applications w2hen it comes to studying natural and urban
issues grounded upon multi-temporal and real time data.
