  1. 3D vs. Conventional Volcanic Hazard Maps: A User Study at

    Mount Hood Charles Preppernau Bernhard Jenny
  2. Revised Research Questions Do 3D maps allow users to more

    accurately interpret terrain? Do isochrones give a better understanding of the speed of lahar hazards? Do these two cartographic methods improve user’s choice of evacuation routes?
  3. Hypotheses H1: Users prefer 3D perspective maps over 2D contour

    maps for terrain representation, and prefer isochrones over point markers for travel time indicators. H2: Users more accurately judge relative elevation and slope on 3D maps than on 2D maps. H3: Users more accurately locate themselves on 3D maps than on 2D maps. H4: Users more accurately interpret lahar travel time and speed with isochrone maps than with point marker maps. H5: Users choose more successful evacuation routes with 3D maps or isochrones than with 2D maps or point markers. Study Design

  5. H1: Do users prefer 3D maps and isochrones? H2: Do

    users more accurately read terrain on 3D maps? H3: Do users more accurately locate themselves on 3D maps? H4: Do users more reliably judge lahar arrival time and speed on isochrone maps? H5: Do users choose better escape routes on 3D or isochrone maps? User Preferences

  18. 3D maps are more effective tools than 2D maps for

    conveying the dangers of lahars. Future research should focus on: Switching to open source software Automating the 3D map creation process Optimizing and testing new versions of the map design Conclusions:
