Is your research mappable? The power of a spatial perspective
Presenters:
Caitlin Mothes,Elizabeth Tulanowski
Category:
Research
Date:
Wednesday, January 12th 2022
Start Time:
2:00 PM
Session Length:
80 minutes
Room:
LSC 300
Description:
Spatial data impacts our everyday lives, so why not incorporate it into your research? With the vast growth in GIS (Geographic Information System) tools, nearly everything is mappable. Geospatial technology has become increasingly prevalent in nearly every discipline, from natural resources to urban planning, archaeology to military tactics, engineering to epidemiology, politics to environmental justice, and more. The key is learning the best methods for adding a spatial component to your data. In this seminar presented by the Geospatial Centroid, we will help you gain insight into how your data can be leveraged with a spatial perspective and empower you with the toolset to do so. The benefits of incorporating a spatial perspective to your research are endless. It can add context to your data, help you explore relationships and networks, and highlight patterns you may not have seen before. Spatial components can also act as a common ground for data analysis, promoting better collaboration and storytelling. With over a decade of experience as a full-service center for building web mapping applications, performing complex spatial analyses, and creating elegant cartographic products, the Geospatial Centroid at the CSU Libraries is a prime resource for aiding researchers, instructors and learners across campus and beyond, with geospatial technologies.
Goals and Target Audience:
Goals: To spread awareness of the power of spatial data and educate researchers on how to integrate a geospatial component into their work. Targeted Audience: Researchers (Faculty, staff, graduate students)
