Abstract
The Medigrid Geovisualisation Service brings together the power of Grid computation and the flexibility of web mapping. The Service provides visualisation of the simulations of natural disasters, such as floods, forest fires, and soil erosion. It was developed for the Medigrid project and can be used from the project web portal. The user is able to zoom to the specific area and watch the progress of the event in time. Being web-based, the Service is universal and user friendly.
