Dr. Budhendra Bhaduri | Geographic Information Science and Technology Group | Oak Ridge National Laboratory   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…

Dr. Susan Ustin | Professor of Environmental and Resource Sciences in the Dept. of Land and Natural Resources | Director of the Center for Spatial Technologies and Remote Sensing (CSTARS) | University of California Davis   Abstract: The Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta in California is the largest estuary on the west coast of North and South America and…

Dr. Stacy Supak | Teaching Assistant Professor | Center for Geospatial Analytics | NC State University   Abstract: With President Obama’s 2013 Executive Order, an estimated 20 million government-generated datasets could be eligible for release to the public. These data have massive potential to inform and support solutions to our nation’s most pressing challenges. At the…

Dr. Joshua Gray | Assistant Professor | Forestry & Environmental Resources | NC State University Kalman Filters are used in a wide variety of signal processing applications to fuse multiple noisy signals and forecast system states. Here, we investigate the potential of Kalman Filters to fuse multisource, multispectral satellite imagery. In particular: obtaining robustly gap-filled…

Forensic analyses are often concerned with identifying the spatial source of biological residue. Using recent advances in high-throughput sequencing technologies, dust collected from nearly any object can be shown to harbor DNA fragments from thousands of bacteria and fungi species which may be informative of the source of the dust. We show that training collections…
