Covering solar, wind, bioenergy, geothermal and marine energy, the "Global Atlas for Renewable Energy is an online platform intended to help users - policymakers and investors - to find renewable energy resources maps for locations across the world (...) aimed at closing the gap between countries that have access to the necessary data and expertise to evaluate the potential for renewable energy deployment in their countries and those that lack these elements." 

 

"The Global Atlas platform provides different sorts of simulators developed by the contributors or as part of the Global Atlas initiative", including a tool for bioenergy simulation, "based on the user's chosen geographic scope".

"While the tools for writing, storing, disseminating and retrieving documents have undergone a revolution in the last few decades, reading is still a very slow process. For practical reasons, we are forced to determine a working set size, i.e., the number of documents that we can handle."

(...) 

"By combining metadata and subject terms in a vector-based information space, visualization may give us the opportunity to handle larger document collections and to help the user to find the documents that are most likely to satisfy an information need defined on a pragmatic level."
