Research Innovations at Penn State's GeoVISTA Center

Join Dr. Alan MacEachren, Dr. Alex Klippel and Dr. Krzysztof Janowicz of Penn State's GeoVISTA Center as they discuss cutting-edge research across the breadth of "GIScience from spatial cognition, through formal geo-information representation, to spatial analysis, cartography and visual analytics. The focus [of the Center] is on developing powerful human-centered methods and technologies that allow scientists and decision makers to solve scientific, social, and environmental problems through computer-supported, visually-enabled analysis of the growing wealth of geospatial data." The research projects presented will have real-world ramifications for GIS practitioners whose work involves synthesizing large quantities of data and presenting information in a useful form. During this webinar, you will learn: • How academic research in geovisualization and visual analytics is applied in public health and crisis management • How human factors, such as spatial thinking and cognition, impact the design and development of GIS tools • How research in the Semantic Geospatial Web, sensor networks, and mobile computing will advance the integration of information For more information about Penn State's award-winning Online Geospatial Education Program, please visit: www.worldcampus.psu.edu/geospatial to apply and enroll in courses or www.pennstategis.com for detained descriptions of courses and faculty information
