Coffee Hour Talk: "Geography Dynamics"

A Coffee Talk hour hosted by the Department of Geography, Environment and Society titled "Geography dynamics: how an integrated spatial-temporal perspective contributes to understanding change and movement" will be given by Prof. Kathleen Stewart from the University of Iowa. This talk will be held in Blegen Hall 445 at 3:30pm on Friday, March 8th.

Please join us this Friday, March 8th for the Department of Geography, Environment and Society Coffee Hour, co-sponsered with the U-Spatial Speaker Series (www.uspatial.umn.edu).
Kathleen Stewart, Associate Professor in the Department of Geography, at the University of Iowa, will give a talk titled "Geographic dynamics: how an integrated spatial-temporal perspective contributes to understanding change and movement."
Abstract: In this talk Dr. Stewart discusses research in the area of geographic dynamics. Her focus on the roles of space and time offers improved opportunities for modeling and mapping geographic events to reveal interesting spatio/temporal properties. She will draw on examples from several different application areas, including geographic information retrieval where details about events are extracted automatically from text, and scheduling applications. More information about her talk and relevant readings can be found at https://uspatial.umn.edu/KathleenStewart.
The talk will be held in Blegen Hall 445 beginning at 3:30. Complimentary refreshments and coffee will be served at 3:15.
