Thanks to our partners at Barco for this case study on the two GeoDome Globe systems we installed in Sweden this past year. We’re honored to be part of these cross-disciplinary learning experiences.

The first GeoDome Globe can be found in the new Wadströms Exploranation Laboratory which is part of the Visualization Center C  at Linköping University. Researchers in climate, environment, and sociology collaborated to visualize new discoveries (exploration) and to explain the results of research to the public (explanation). The globe is one of several data-driven interactive experiences on climate, biodiversity, marine environments, and human interactions with the world around us.

The second GeoDome Globe is part of a new biodiversity exhibit at Skansen in Stockholm, which is the world’s oldest open-air museum. Visitors explore Swedish history and cultural heritage as well as learning about the natural world at the zoo, aquarium, and Baltic Sea Science Center. The biodiversity exhibit looks at the intersection between natural processes and human life on the planet, exploring climate change with a critical lens and inspiring Skansen visitors to be part of solutions.
