SPRING 2007 - Postgraduate seminar series in GIS & Modelling
This series is designed to allow postgraduates to discuss their current
research, meet other postgraduates and interact with experts at an
international level.
The seminars are open to faculty and students in WUN member universities,
together with members of the Quantitative Methods Research and GIScience
Groups of the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) and other interested
parties. Although the series carries no activities for which a formal
assessment is appropriate, our hope is that graduate student classes, in
particular, will build on it by creating some formal, assessed activity that
enables the series to be ‘hard wired’ into their research training
programmes. Possible activities might be completion of an individual essay
based on some or all of the presented materials, developing, running and
reporting on a model (e.g. in PCRaster or similar), seminar presentation on
a related topic, or group development of a website that extends the
materials. A note giving seminar synopses, suggested reading, and possible
student activities, is available by request from Dave Unwin ([log in to unmask]).
Next seminars: Wednesday 21st Feb
Yong Yang ‘Individual space-time activity-based model: a model for
simulation of airborne infectious disease transmission by activity bundle
simulation’
Dianna Smith 'Simulating inequalities in health: challenges in model design
and application'
The presentations will start at 1600, Wednesday 21st, using the Marratech
desk top video conferencving system. Further details of how to access and
participate are at www.wun.ac.uk/ggisa
