本文通过回顾NASA团队使用PIXLISE平台进行火星地质研究的案例，探讨了科学可视化作为协作数据基础设施在数据处理和证据呈现中的作用及未来潜力。

Abstract

Scientific visualization is an active site of infrastructuring with many layers of data and evidential claims. This paper reflects on collaborative Mars geoscience research conducted at the NASA Jet Propulsion Lab, which produced the PIXLISE spectroscopic analysis platform, through a retrospective analysis of a scientific discovery made by the team using PIXLISE. The history of infrastructuring in scientific visualization is exceedingly rich, which presents an opportunity for archival research. Simultaneously, the field of visualization aspires to become a science of communication, opening the door to future collaborations. Finally, with regard to visualization practitioners, we believe that opportunities for infrastructuring in both science and science communication are actively emerging.
