Thanks to Chris, Jack and Eduardo for yesterday's excellent webinar.  This webinar series has been excellent in helping us share the excellent research done to the wider community worldwide and to enable  opportunities for getting new research collaborations.

The next webinar is by Lluis Vicens (SIGTE) on Open Street Map which I am sure will be of great interest.

Please do let me know if any of you are interested in doing a webinar on your latest research. I  would like to finalize the rest of the webinar speakers for this year. Thanks.

Best wishes,

Suchith

Subject: [Ica-osgeo-labs] Webinar on Sustainable Cities research on 6th March

Dear all,

Reminder of  our fifth webinar of the "Open Geospatial Science & Applications" webinar series on March 6th by our Australian colleagues (Dr Chris Pettit and Dr. Jack Barton). The webinar will be open and free to all on first come register basis. 

AURIN is building a geospatial open source online platform to support the urban research and policy and decision-making community in Australia. AURIN is a nationally funded project through the Department of Education's Super Science initiative. An open source geoportal has been built (currently in Beta 3) which provides secure access to a large array of datasets from across Australia using a federated data architecture. The portal also provides a suite of spatial-statistics, workflow and visualization tools to support urban researchers, policy and decision-making in planning for sustainable cities. Details at http://aurin.org.au/

The webinar series has been excellent opportunity to share the excellent work of our colleagues to the wider community. Last month's webinar by Maria and Partick on NASA World Wind Virtual Globe Technology  was attended by around 400 participants worldwide. Thee recorded versions of the previous webinars at http://mundogeo.com/webinar/opengeoscienceandapplications/
are also watched by hundreds more who couldn't attend. Many thanks for Eduardo, MundoGeo and all presenters for making this possible.

I also think that it will be a good idea to get key invited speakers to give presentations for the webinar series. If you have ideas of good speakers that we need to invite please email me. Many thanks.
