Abstract: Increasing resolutions of geographic data provides a compelling motivation for spatiotemporal analysis of dynamic data streams.  The challenge in processing large volumes of high resolution earth observation and simulation data by traditional GIS has been compounded by the drive towards real-time applications and decision support.  Drawing from our experience at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, this presentation will highlight progress and challenges of some of the emerging data analysis and computational approaches, including high performance computing, illustrated with population and urban dynamics, sustainable energy and mobility, and climate change science.
