In the late 1980's personal computers could be used to create interactive computer graphics and I realized that these techniques could be used in limnology. Initially I used commercial software but soon I realized that I had to develop specialized software that could be used to display dynamically data collected in lakes. Thus I developed the program Data Animator that can be downloaded freely upon an E-mail request to me.
