Geospatial Studio – Mapping and Geospatial Visualization with QGIS

QGIS is a free and open source software for analyzing and visualizing your geo data, also known as GPS, georeferenced, geocoded, or GIS/Geographic Information System data.  QGIS can be installed on multiple operating systems and has greater analytical capabilities than online mapping sites. We'll learn some GIS fundamentals, how QGIS compares with other GIS software,…

Geospatial Forum with Dr. Susan Ustin – Mapping Distribution of Aquatic Macrophytes Dynamics between Years in the Sacramento Delta with AVIRIS-ng

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…

Geospatial Forum with Dr. Stacy Supak – Working with Government Agencies to Use Open Data for Social Good

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…

Geospatial Forum with Dr. Josh Gray – Kalman Filter Applications in Remotely Sensed Imaging

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…

MGIST Digital Symposium & Professional Showcase

The Professional Showcase is an opportunity for our graduating students to present their Capstone projects in front of the geospatial community at NC State. This includes student peers, alumni, faculty and staff from across the university, and our community and industry partners. This is a tremendous professional development and networking opportunity for our students. The…

Doctoral Seminar – Whalen Dillon

Doctoral Seminar:  Spatial scale, pathogen spillover, and coexistence in an emerging forest disease system.  By Whalen Dillon, candidate for PhD in Forestry and Environmental Resources

Geospatial Forum with Dr. Brian Reich – Deep Spatial Learning for Forensic Geolocation with Microbiome Data

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…

Geospatial Studio – Leveraging OpenLayers Open Source Mapping Library for creating dynamic web mapping applications

In this hands-on workshop presented by ProStar, you will learn how OpenLayers is leveraged and applied in today's modern GIS web applications. Bring your laptop to become familiar with the OpenLayers library and get started using it. Dan Colby (Senior VP of Product Management, ProStar) will provide an introduction and overview. Nathan Kannan (VP of Product Development, ProStar) will…

Geospatial Forum with Dr. Marc Serre – Incorporating River Distances and Flow in the Geostatistical Estimation of Surface Water Quality in Rivers of North Carolina and Maryland

Assessing water quality along rivers is vital for watershed management. The Bayesian Maximum Entropy method of modern geostatistics provides a powerful framework to model the space/time variability of water quality and perform a statistical assessment of all river miles. This talk presents joint work with Prahlad Jat that describes how river distances and flow can…
