Love Data 2023 - Spatial Data: Unlocking the Power of Place and Process
Spatial Data: Unlocking the Power of Place and Process
Thursday, February 16 @ 11:00
Speaker: Brian Tomaszewski
Most data contain a spatial component. This can range from something as simple as an address location to electromagnetic energy about land cover conditions collected in pixels from satellite imagery. Despite the widespread composition of data with a spatial component, spatial data analytical and visual methodologies are still relatively unknown in broader data analytical fields. In this talk, Dr. Tomaszewski will present an introduction to the classic concept of why “spatial is special”. Topics will include discussion of the unique aspects of spatial data, unique methodologies that can be used to find insight into spatial processes, and challenges and opportunities with spatial data visualization. The talk will be illustrated with numerous examples from Dr. Tomaszewski's research focused on the use of spatial data for solving problems in the disaster management and international humanitarian domains.
