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…
GIS Week: Scaling Planetary Insights with Geospatial Data Note: Dr. Bruno Sánchez-Andrade Nuño will present and take questions virtually, and we will have an in-person watch party with refreshments in JHA 1216. Summary: We live in incredible geospatial times with revolutionary computation and a proliferation of growing historical archives and more sensors. We never had…
Including Family-owned Forests in the Fight Against Climate Change Summary: While the economic forecast for 2023 might be gloomy, the demand for carbon offsets continues to grow. As North America’s leading developer of forest carbon offsets, Finite Carbon is pioneering technological advancements that leverage geospatial information to automate the carbon project development process. These innovations…
Applying Geospatial Analysis to Studies of Communicable Diseases Summary: Infectious/communicable diseases have (re)emerged at local, regional, and global scales within the context of contemporary global environmental change, globalization, urbanization, and environmental problems. Geospatial analysis can play a major role in analyzing, modeling, and predicting epidemics and pandemics. In this forum presentation, Dr. Shi will use…
Geospatial Analytics Ph.D. students will share current research in a series of lightning talks:
(Spatial) Scales of Justice: Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility in Participatory Sciences Summary: The participatory sciences manage public engagement to create bridges between science and society, taking different forms in different disciplines. The discoveries and advances through these large collective efforts are unique and not possible by people working alone. With innovations in geospatial and data…
Environmental Drivers of Vector-borne and Zoonotic Diseases: Leveraging Remote Sensing in Public Health Summary: Vector-borne and zoonotic diseases are responsible for one-sixth of disease and disability worldwide. Their distribution and spread is highly dependent on the environment. In the face of the environmental changes brought about by the Earth-system crisis, remote sensing has gained renewed…
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…
