Geospatial Forum with Prof. Catherine D’Ignazio (MIT)

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

As data, including geospatial data, are increasingly mobilized in the service of governments and corporations, their unequal conditions of production, their asymmetrical methods of application, and their unequal effects on both individuals and groups have become increasingly difficult for data scientists--and others who rely on data in their work--to ignore. But it is precisely this…

Geospatial Forum with Dr. Daniela Jones (NC State)

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

Biomass feedstock utilization has the potential to reduce dependency on fossil fuels and improve energy security while decarbonizing our energy needs. Energy crops, short rotation woody crops, municipal solid waste, and agricultural and forest residues are considered promising sources of renewable energy. Computer modeling has proven to be a key tool towards minimizing logistics cost.…

Geospatial Forum with Dr. Marynia Kolak (Univ. of Chicago)

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

A spatial perspective isn’t (just) about making compelling visualizations, but also investigating how complex human-environment interactions impact the theory, design, methods and infrastructure of research. Detangling how place impacts, interacts with and/or drives factors of health outcomes for different people and neighborhoods is essential to reducing health disparities. In this forum talk, Dr. Kolak highlights…

GIS Week: Du Bois Visualization Exhibit

NC, United States

Inspired by the visualization work of W.E.B. Du Bois, this event is designed as a showcase of visualizations (both physical and digital) that are either modern extensions of Du Bois’ work or products of original scholarship around racial equity and justice. Artists will get a chance to share and talk about their work, and accepted…
