SUMMARY:Geospatial Analytics Dissertation Defense: Thom Worm
DESCRIPTION:Defense Presentation Title: The Role of Bridgehead Effects on the Global Spatiotemporal Spread of Invasive Insects \nAdvisor: Dr. Ross Meentemeyer\, Ph.D. Graduate Program Director and Director\, Center for Geospatial Analytics \nAbstract: Invasive insect species threaten biodiversity\, agriculture\, human health and economies worldwide. Although there has been considerable work done to describe and model invasive insect spread at local to regional scales\, there have been comparatively few efforts that describe and simulate the timing\, location and drivers of global-scale international insect invasions. A critical yet understudied factor is the bridgehead effect\, where previously invaded non-native regions serve as hubs for subsequent invasions—a phenomenon that has yet to be quantified for most insect taxa. Accurate data on the rate\, quantity and location of global invasions are essential to making accurate forecasts and effectively managing the damaging effects of invasive insects. This dissertation addresses key knowledge gaps by being the first to quantify the bridgehead effect and global invasion rates for a diverse assemblage of invasive insects\, integrating descriptive and modeling approaches to examine their roles alongside invasion origins in spatiotemporally shaping global invasion patterns. \n

SUMMARY:MGIST Digital Symposium
DESCRIPTION: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 our students. \nThe technology in Hunt Library will allow students to present digital posters of their Capstone projects on a large\, immersive projection screen in a social atmosphere with networking and open discussion. The event is capped off with an award to the winner of the poster competition! \nSchedule:\n3:00pm: MGIST Symposium Opening Remarks (Dr. Eric Money)\n3:00pm – 3:50pm: Digital Poster Session and refreshments\n3:50pm – 4:00pm: Symposium Close and Poster Award Announcement (Dr. Eric Money) \nSymposium Preview Website: \nYou can preview the posters on our symposium website . \nVoting for Best Poster: \nThe best poster will be awarded a gift card at the end of the symposium. You may vote ONCE virtually using the above website and ONCE in-person if you attend the live event. Virtual voting closes at Noon on Thursday\, DEC 12.
