[Suchith Anand]

Dear colleagues,

I am pleased to inform that  Prof Xinyue Ye , GIS Faculty at Kent State University and founding director of computational social science research lab will lead the initiative to establish Ohio’s First Open Source Geospatial lab  at Kent State University. The laboratory will support computational social science research and educational excellence through the development, implementation, and application of open source geo-computation and geo-visualization.

The laboratory is expected to attract considerable interest from spatial scientists, economic/urban geographers, regional scientists, and policy-makers who are keen to contribute to and learn about the evaluation, extension, and implementation of multi-scale and multi-mechanism framework for comparative space-time analysis of regional and urban dynamics. The laboratory will be active in dissemination of new comparative metrics for the broader research community.

The facility will open in September 2013.
