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

[Suchith Anand]

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.
