The next Geospatial Research and Innovation Seminar Series seminar is coming up, next Friday August 31st, starting with networking over coffee and a light snack at 12.30 in the foyer of NZi3, followed by the seminar starting at 1pm.
The seminar is by Professor Michael Peterson, who is visiting the University of Canterbury from the University of Omaha in Nebraska on an Erskine Fellowship. Michael has had a career-long interest in mapping, and his first book, published in 1995, was entitled ‘Interactive and Animated Cartography’. He is currently working on a book on mapping in the cloud, and will talk to us about that most recent work next Friday in his seminar, which is entitled ‘Cloud-based Computing for Maps and GIS’.
