[Ica-osgeo-labs] Geography 2050: Call for proposals (papers and lightning talks)

Yep, a strong open door policy, is what gives everything a good turn, from management style to optimizing QA/QC, and yet still provide plenty of opportunity for innovation, both open and proprietary. We just need that basic wheel for all to be able to turn. In this case that wheel is our world visualized and open for business!

Hi Varun- great to have you provide  mentoring  for one of the  WW Challenge team and it will be great if you can present your work for AGS.

Suchith

btw Patrick  i noticed one of the WorldWind Challenge Project teams are working on  Global Earthquake Forecast System ( Trillium Learning & Kodiak Island Borough District). Looking forward to see what ideas these students will come up with. Seeing all these  amazing projects i am confident if we can give the open frameworks  and bit of support, the students of today will come up with innovative solutions to tackle global societal problems from Climate change to reducing exterme poverty.

It is through education and empowerment combined that will really create the socio- economic opportunities needed to help lift billions of people out of extreme poverty and hence we have to make sure Open Principles in Education are expanded globally.

Suchith,
I am hoping that Varun Chandola, CS Professor at Buffalo University, will participate in the AGS Symposium. He is already participating in the Europa Challenge with some advanced optimization techniques for working with NetCDF data. http://eurochallenge.como.polimi.it/projects2015   Varun would be able to speak quite well to the advantages of Web World Wind, the new JavaScript platform for NASA World Wind. Hope springs eternal! As for OpenCitySmart, there should be enough there by November 19-20, that Chris Tucker could present it. ;-)

Hi Chris,

Thanks for sharing this info. It is a really good opportunity to share the updates on Urban Science work that  Patrick et al are doing for this and build more collaborations.

Patrick and US colleagues - will any of you be able to participate in AGS Symposium. It will be great to have our work presented there.Thanks.

Suchith

All,

I am chair of the American Geographical Society's Fall Symposium - Geography 2050:  Exploring Our Future in an Urbanized World (www.geography2050.org<http://www.geography2050.org>).  We happen to have a call for papers out right now, which closes in a couple weeks - http://www.geography2050.org/docs/CallForPapersFINAL.pdf .  Sorry, but I didn't think to send it out to this list until I saw Charles' call for papers today.  But, there is still time!

The Symposium is all about the trends that will reshape the future geography of our planet by 2050.  Last year, urbanization repeatedly emerged as a major force across every theme of our conference.  So, this year, we that will be our focus.

Please give it a read, and pass it around far and wide!  We are looking for big thinkers committed to understanding our planet's future geographically.

And if you do not want to present, but have a recommendation for great thinkers from government, industry, academe and the social sector, please drop me a line and tell me about them!

Thanks in advance for your consideration!

Chris
