Herramienta de visualización de grafos para la exploración de relaciones causa-efecto en un contexto de resiliencia climática

Abstract

This work is part of the Clim-Red project, aimed at managing climate change through resilient strategies. The general objective of this work is to develop a software tool that manages graphs to facilitate the understanding of cause-effect relationships within the context of climate change, supporting decision-making in adaptation and mitigation efforts. The proposal is justified by the need to understand and visualize the complex interdependencies that characterize climate dynamics offering an accessible solution for both the scientific community and the general public. For its development, a system based on graph theory and usability principles was designed, employing advanced computational tools and user-centered design standards. A dynamic system was implemented to enable diagram updates and rule validation through expert interaction, ensuring technical precision and adaptability to diverse climate scenarios. The results demonstrated that the tool enhances the understanding of complex cause-effect relationships, promoting interdisciplinary collaboration and improving visual clarity in data representation. Additionally, tests conducted with experts validated its effectiveness in terms of usability and accuracy in modeling climate dynamics. Keywords: Climate management, graph theory, climate change, usability, software.
