Her dissertation research focused on environmental equity and groundwater resources in the American Southwest and the US-Mexico border. She holds a masters degree are in Hydrology and undergraduate degree in Geography . Dr. Laituri accepted a post doc at the University of Auckland, New Zealand where she then served as a lecturer in geography . She is a Fulbright Scholar and spent 2010 in Botswana working on indigenous knowledge and scientific innovation, and she conducted comparative research of major rivers as a Rachel Carson Fellow in Munich, Germany. Dr. Laituri is the Director of the Geospatial Centroid at CSU (gis.colostate.edu) that provides information and support for geographic information systems (GIS) activities, education, and outreach at CSU and in Colorado. She has worked with indigenous peoples throughout the world on issues related to natural resource management, disaster adaptation, and water resource issues using GIS that utilize cultural and eco-physical data in research models. A key focus is participatory GIS where indigenous peoples develop spatial information and maps essential for their management of their own resources. Dr. Laituri’s other research work focuses on the role of the Internet and geospatial technologies of disaster management and cross-cultural environmental histories of river basin management.

OGC® Standards support interoperable solutions that "geo-enable" the Web, wireless and location-based services and mainstream IT. The standards empower technology developers to make complex spatial information and services accessible and useful with all kinds of applications. Their vision is a world in which everyone benefits from the use of geospatial information and supporting technologies. Their mission is to advance the development and use of international standards and supporting services that promote geospatial interoperability. To accomplish this mission, OGC serves as the global forum for the collaboration of geospatial data / solution providers and users.

> "The Open Geospatial Consortium is proud to support this important forward-looking dialog in partnership with the Symposium's other partners and sponsors," said Mark Reichardt, OGC's President and CEO. "Through this exploration of how geography, spatial thinking and geospatial information and technology can help humanity deal with rapid urbanization, scientists and policy makers as well as technology providers and consensus standards organizations like OGC have the opportunity to anticipate and include important requirements into their plans and their development activities."
