Geospatial Studio – Resources for Geospatial Computing

A variety of powerful computing resources are available at the Center for Geospatial Analytics and College of Natural Resources to help you perform your geospatial and big-data research. Do you know how to access them all, use them, and choose between them to suit your needs? At this special Geospatial Studio, CGA researchers and CNR…

Geospatial Forum with Dr. Emilio Mayorga – Synthesizing River Carbon Fluxes from Streams to the Globe: Needs, Opportunities and Frustrations

The importance of freshwater ecosystems in the terrestrial carbon balance from watersheds to the globe has been increasingly recognized over the last two decades. While global-scale annual carbon exports from rivers to the oceans are reasonably well constrained, large uncertainties remain at other spatial and temporal scales for lateral transport and other fluxes. Measurements are…

Geospatial Forum with James Alberque

Jordan Hall 5103 2800 Faucette Drive, Raleigh, NC, United States

The City of Raleigh leverages GIS data and technology to support a variety of services and solutions. These range from more efficient management of assets to real time status of parking spaces, and from coordinating capital construction projects to interactive scenario-based 3D urban environments. This presentation will focus on how Raleigh balances a robust, stable,…

Geospatial Forum with Dr. Katherine Martin

Jordan Hall Addition 1216 2720 Faucette Drive, Raleigh, NC, United States

Humanity has embarked on an age of rapid global changes across biophysical and social-economic conditions so great that it has been labeled the Anthropocene. As global climate changes and urban populations expand, society is increasingly reliant on smaller and more fragmented areas for ecosystem services. These services include carbon sequestration, the uptake of excess nutrient…

Geospatial Forum with Dr. Emily Berglund

Jordan Hall 5103 2800 Faucette Drive, Raleigh, NC, United States

The large-scale introduction of water reuse into an existing water supply system is a complex socio-technical process. Consumers drive the success of water reuse programs through adoption, and infrastructure designs affect adoption patterns. This research develops a modeling framework to capture the feedbacks among consumer adoption and infrastructure expansion. Two theories are applied and compared…

Geospatial Forum with David DiBiase

Jordan Hall 5103 2800 Faucette Drive, Raleigh, NC, United States

The World Economic Forum contends that we are in the midst of a Fourth Industrial Revolution. The revolution is characterized by “a ubiquitous and mobile internet, by smaller, cheaper, and more powerful sensors, and by artificial intelligence and machine learning.” It is manifest in an "Internet of Things” that's expected to connect 50 billion devices,…

Geospatial Studio: Jumpstarting Metadata Creation with the NC Metadata Profile

Jordan Hall 5103 2800 Faucette Drive, Raleigh, NC, United States

This 2-hour studio will provide insight into the use and application of the new North Carolina GIS Metadata Profile. Funded by the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), this event is free of charge and open to anyone practicing GIS in or for the state of North Carolina. It will be a combination of discussion…
