This research explores multiple geo-visualisations to enhance the comprehension of changing reality. It establishes a cognitive visualisation model as a framework and a multiple visualisation approach for implementation. Multiple visualisations of land cover changes including 2D and 3D, abstract and realistic simulations with static and dynamic components are created and tested through a formal user survey. It is concluded that although the real world cannot be perfectly represented, comprehension and interpretation can be improved and enhanced by providing effective multiple visualisations in accordance with users’ specific needs and tasks.
