Seminar Title: Geospatial Technology - its Values and Challenges

Abstract:

Location matters, not only in geography but also in other sciences and humanities. Geospatial technology helps us investigate and communicate in the spatial domain. The field enjoyed a rapid growth in recent years. Peter Bol and Wendy Guan will talk about why spatial thinking is critical to just about any discipline, what the geospatial technology offers to non-geography researchers, what the driving forces are in its recent boom, and what challenges it faces going forward.
