Greg McInerny is an ecologist by training who developed his interests in visualization through work on computational ecology, projects relating to science policy-interfaces and on the evolution of ‘The Origin of Species’ by Charles Darwin.

Greg’s visualization work (often with collaborators) has featured in research papers, as well as on an album cover and in the Museum of Modern Art (NY). Greg has consulted for the BTO (British Trust for Ornithology), was a Communication advisor with the NERC-BESS consortium, and was a member of NESAC, Natural England Scientific Advisory Committee.

Whilst Greg maintains interests in biodiversity and global change, this is through the lens of data visualization and his visualization research interests, which include:

  • how researchers use visualization in research
  • how techniques and tools enact visualization
  • how visualization practice can engage with critical studies and
  • how visualizations appear to the real world.

This work combines to explore visualization as a subject, a set of methods and as objects. Greg is interested in how interdisciplinarity arises in research and is practiced, in part because visualization can be so very interdisciplinary.
