Areas of Interest

GeoSPA is broad in definition, encompassing geospatial, space, place, and analysis in its diverse range of topics. Some of the topics featured in our talks include (non-exclusive):

Geospatial Data

Discussions around various sources of geospatial data. Big and small; traditional and emerging.

Spatial Analysis

Navigating the Frontiers of Geospatial Exploration and Spatial Analysis.

Place

The intricate intersections of place, space, and spatial analysis, unraveling novel insights in the geospatial domain.

Temporal Dynamics and Analysis

the temporal aspects of geospatial data to understand how spatial phenomena evolve over time, providing valuable insights into trends, patterns, and dynamic changes.

Advanced modeling

Advanced modeling involves pushing the boundaries of geospatial analysis through sophisticated modeling techniques. From complex spatial simulations to innovative predictive models.

Empirical studies of places

Geospatial research grounded in real-world observations and data.
