Using Satellite Data for Species Distribution Modeling with GRASS GIS and R >>> REGISTER HERE! <<<  (Register now to reserve your spot!) Summary: Species distribution models (SDM) have traditionally used climatic data as predictors of habitat suitability for the target species. In this hands-on studio, we will explore the use of satellite data to derive…

The MGIST Digital Symposium is an opportunity for our graduating professional master's students to present their Capstone projects to the geospatial community at NC State and beyond. 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…

Modeling Threats to the Nation's Forests Driven by Global Change Hosted by: Dr. Adam Terando Summary: Forests across the U.S. support biodiversity and provide ecosystem services, including water quality and carbon storage. Knowledge about the impacts of global change drivers, including climate and land-use change, on forested landscapes in the U.S. is therefore important for…

Spatial Variability of Earthquake Ground Motion and Deformation: Examples of How Geospatial Analytics is Shaping our Understanding of Seismic Hazards Introduction by: Dr. Dan Obenour Summary: Efforts toward improving resiliency of urban environments to seismic hazards are challenged by highly variable ground motions and deformations over large scales. The geologic structures near the ground surface…

Geospatial Insights into Youth Mental Health Hosted by: Dr. Aaron Hipp Summary: Youth mental disorders and suicide are an acute public health crisis. Yet, mental health research primarily focuses on clinical settings and qualitative methods that are local in scale or limited to the most severe outcomes (e.g., suicide). Identifying geographic hotspots in which adolescents…
