Spatial analyses and place-based studies are more important than ever in the world today, and the digital technologies that support such work are becoming much more commonplace and in high demand.

For more detailed background on this effort, please see our briefing paper, Sustaining Geospatial Science and Technology at Cornell University.

Due to overwhelming interest, we are asking that people register for this event by October 6. Register now to guarantee your seat (and a lunch).
