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.
