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 Forum with Dr. Bethany Cutts

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

Environmental justice and sustainability are two critical, but often separate initiatives undertaken by NGOs, planners, government agencies, and grassroots groups. This presentation includes three cases in which environmental justice concerns confuse conventional discourses of sustainability (soil lead and urban gardens, home foreclosure and vacant lot reuse, and legacy pollution and waterfront development). Collectively, these works…

Rachel Kasten, Graduate Program Coordinator,…

Geospatial Forum with Dr. Falk Huettmann

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

Expert-based science is widely on the decline when it comes to computing- and data-based inference worldwide for land- and seascapes as well as the atmosphere. The status of associated biodiversity and its conservation is equally in a crisis-state. In this presentation I will show how open access to data -including citizen science - has provided…

Geospatial Forum with Dr. Andrew Wilson

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

The usual views of air traffic — a single plane in the sky, several planes on approach, even the route map in the back of the in-flight magazine — are deceptive. The truth is that air traffic (and its counterpart, maritime traffic) is a big, messy, complex, ever-evolving morass where this morning’s anomaly is this…

Geospatial Forum with Dr. Adam Terando

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

As the planet continues to warm, many decision makers are grappling with how best to adapt to our changing climate. But for these decision makers, the most advanced global climate models are also perceived as being too ‘wrong’ to be useful for planning and adaptation. In response, an explosion of higher resolution ‘downscaled’ climate models have emerged…
