| My research has been focused on provenance information associated with scientific workflow executions. The primary goal of my research is to develop and evaluate methods for disseminating provenance. Our current tool, Probe-It!, provides an all-in-one approach for visualizing both scientific results and related provenance. For more information click here. |

This thesis describes how Probe-It! can be used by scientists to evaluate the quality of scientific workflow results, namely gravity contour maps. This document presents a background of similar work, a detailed description of Probe-It! (i.e., how it was implemented and its composing views and viewers), and a user study providing statistically sound evidence that scientists can evaluate the quality of scientific results using Probe-It! better than scientists without access to the tool.
