Dear all, On behalf of the worldwide ICA-OSGeo labs , i would like to invite you to the fifth webinar of the "Open Geospatial Science & Applications” webinar series on March 6th by our Australian colleagues (Dr Chris Pettit and Dr. Jack Barton) focussed on their research in sustainable cities. The webinar will be open and free to all on first come register basis. AURIN is building a geospatial open source online platform to support the urban research and policy and decision-making community in Australia. AURIN is a nationally funded project through the Department of Education's Super Science initiative. An open source geoportal has been built (currently in Beta 3) which provides secure access to a large array of datasets from across Australia using a federated data architecture. The portal also provides a suite of spatial-statistics, workflow and visualization tools to support urban researchers, policy and decision-making in planning for sustainable cities. Details at http://aurin.org.au/ Sustainable Cities research is a key research theme for many of our research labs esp. in Australia, Japan, Europe and USA, so we are looking forward to build more research collaborations with others who are interested in this research area. To register , please go to https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/701131370 The webinar series has been excellent opportunity to share the excellent work of our colleagues to the wider community. Last month's webinar by Prof. Maria Brovelli (Italy) and Partick Hogan (NASA) on NASA World Wind and Europa Challenge was attended by around 400 participants worldwide. The recorded versions of the previous webinars at http://mundogeo.com/webinar/opengeoscienceandapplications/ are also watched by hundreds more who couldn't attend. Many thanks for Eduardo and all presenters for making this possible. We would also like to invite your thoughts and recommendations of key geospatial thinkers who we can invite to present for for our future webinars If you have ideas of good speakers that we need to invite for the Open Geospatial Science & Applications” webinar series please email me. Many thanks.
