Space-Time Integration in Geography and GIScience -

. .

Résumé :

Mei-Po Kwan is a Professor of Geography and Geographic Information Science and an Affiliated Faculty of the CyberGIS Center for Advanced Digital and Spatial Studies at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She received the 2005 UCGIS Research Award for outstanding contributions to GIScience from the University Consortium for Geographic Information Science (UCGIS). In 2011, she received a Distinguished Scholarship Honors award from the Association of American Geographers (AAG). Kwan is currently Editor of the Annals of the Association of American Geographers and the book series entitled SAGE Advances in Geographic Information Science and Technology. She is Associate Editor of Travel Behaviour and Society , and an editorial board member of the Journal of Transport Geography , Applied Geography , and Geographical Analysis . She has made outstanding contributions to geographic information science and geography, especially in developing geocomputational algorithms for implementing space-time accessibility measures that are sensitive to individual differences, 3D interactive geovisualization, network-based 3D topological data models, GIS-based intelligent emergency response systems (GIERS), the protection of geoprivacy through geographical masks, and computational-process modeling of activity-travel decisions.

Douglas Richardson is the Executive Director of the Association of American Geographers (AAG). During the past ten years, he led a highly successful organizational renewal of the AAG and has built strong academic, research, publishing, and financial foundations for the organization's future. Prior to joining the AAG, Richardson founded and for 18 years was the president of GeoResearch, Inc., a private-sector scientific research company specializing in geographic research andtechnology, including geographic information science and systems (GIS), spatial modeling, and Global Positioning Systems (GPS). GeoResearch developed and patented the world's first real-time interactive GPS/GIS technologies, leading to transformative changes in the ways in which geographic information is now collected, mapped, integrated, and used within science, as well as in society more broadly. He also has been closely engaged with both technical and social issues related to geospatial data confidentiality and privacy for more than 20 years. Richardson holds a Bachelor's degree from the University of Michigan and a PhD in Geography from Michigan State University. His current research interests focus space-time integration in GIS and GIScience, and on geography's evolution as an international discipline and its future trajectories in the university and in society.
