An archival visualization tool is applied to a collection of Web images from the U.S. Geological Survey. Each of the nested boxes represents a different national park. The researchers created an algorithm that parsed the HTML files of each image to extract 10 terms relating to topography features (“rivers,” “hills,” “valley”). A rainbow of colors represents a diverse topography. Visualizations courtesy of Suyog Jain (UT), Varun Jain (UT), Maria Esteva (TACC) and Weijia Xu (TACC).
