Beyond Gis: The Promise Of Spatial Humanities, David J. Bodenhamer Nov 2014

Beyond Gis: The Promise Of Spatial Humanities, David J. Bodenhamer

Purdue GIS Day

Geospatial technologies such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have facilitated the (re)discovery of space for humanists. Yet until recently GIS has had only limited ability to move us beyond a map of geographical space into a richer, more evocative concepts of place based on history and memory. Over the past few years, GIScientists have made advances in spatial multi-media, in GIS-enabled web services, geo-visualization, cyber geography, and virtual reality that provide capabilities far exceeding the abilities of GIS on its own. This presentation will explore how the convergence of technologies, including but not limited to GIS, has led to the …

The Emerging American Empire: Republican Capitalist Development In The Usa, 1830-1930, Richard Hogan Nov 2014

The Emerging American Empire: Republican Capitalist Development In The Usa, 1830-1930, Richard Hogan

Purdue GIS Day

Capital Accumulation, territorial expansion, and the rise and fall of political party systems mark the history of the American Empire, 1830-1930. During this time, the USA emerged from colonial dependency at the edge of the British Empire (after the War of 1812) and established a bipartisan political system (after the election of Jackson in 1828), which was destroyed by the irrepressible conflict between institutionalized Slavery and the challenge of Abolitionism, 1830-1860, culminating in the Civil War. After the election of 1860, a new bipartisan system and renewed industrial capitalist expansion (especially after the political storm from Reconstruction to Populism, 1876-1896) …

Broadening Access To Geospatial Capabilities, Carol Song Nov 2014

Broadening Access To Geospatial Capabilities, Carol Song

Purdue GIS Day

Responding to the need for geospatial tool and data capabilities in HUBzero from various communities, a Purdue team is developing and integrating geospatial capabilities into the HUBzero software. Funded by the National Science Foundation’s Data Infrastructure Building Blocks (DIBBs) initiative, the follow-on program to the DataNet program, the GABBs project is a four-year software development effort aiming at enabling researchers, students and citizens to share geospatial data and tools online without requiring significant amounts of software expertise or IT administrative privileges. The new geospatial functions are being integrated into the HUBzero framework such as RAPPTURE Toolkit for rapid tool development, …


Giscience Driven R&D: Interdisciplinary Gist Group At Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Marie Urban Nov 2014

Giscience Driven R&D: Interdisciplinary Gist Group At Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Marie Urban

Purdue GIS Day

Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is the largest DOE multi-research facility in the US and is located in Oak Ridge, TN. One of the signature strengths of ORNL is Computational Science and Engineering and the Geographic Information Science and Technology (GIST) group contributes to that strength as part of the Computer Sciences and Engineering Division (CSED) within the Computer Sciences Directorate. The GIST group is at the forefront of High Resolution Population and Social Dynamics research and development resulting in innovative products such as LandScan Global (population distribution at 30 arc seconds) and now LandScan HD (population distribution at 3 …

Tablet-Based Mobile Gis Approaches To Archaeological Data Collection, Ian Lindsay Nov 2014

Tablet-Based Mobile Gis Approaches To Archaeological Data Collection, Ian Lindsay

Purdue GIS Day

Over the past 15 years, archaeological research in northern Armenia has documented the unique evolution of prehistoric complex societies in the South Caucasus, where complex, fortress-centered institutions emerged during the Late Bronze Age (c.1500-1150 BC) not from settled farming villages—as is more typical of archaic states—but from mobile herding communities. As the costs of archaeological fieldwork continue to rise, resulting in shorter and more intensive field seasons, researchers are leveraging new technologies to improve the efficiency and accuracy of data collection in the field. An increasingly popular solution in archaeology is the use of “paperless” site recording strategies that enhance …


From Social Media Data To Human Behavior Patterns: Analyzing Spatio-Temporal Dynamics Of Tweets In Midwest College Towns, Yue Li, Jie Shan Nov 2014

From Social Media Data To Human Behavior Patterns: Analyzing Spatio-Temporal Dynamics Of Tweets In Midwest College Towns, Yue Li, Jie Shan

Purdue GIS Day

Twitter, the most popular micro-blogging site, having over 500 million registered users as of 2012 and creating over 340 million tweets per day, has caught the attention of socio-geographic researchers. With its availability from mobile phones, Twitter allows users to send messages with their geographic coordinates. Thus, with respect to the huge quantity and large diversity of crowds publishing tweets, massive valuable geosocial knowledge can be extracted, which can provide important implications for various applications, such as human geography, urban science, location-based services, targeted advertising, content delivery networks, and social media research. This study aims to uncover human behavior patterns, …


Great Lakes Basin Analysis Using L-Thia, Ibrahim D. Hinds, Larry Theller Nov 2014

Great Lakes Basin Analysis Using L-Thia, Ibrahim D. Hinds, Larry Theller

Purdue GIS Day

The objective of this project is to provide a scientific estimate of the surface runoff and water quality within the Great Lakes watershed. A “Big Data” Long-term Hydrologic Impact (L-THIA) model was used for the analysis inside an ArcMAP user interface.
