Webinar : Getting the Gist of GIS by Natasha Stamler

Natasha Stamler,MIT student and former NASA Datanaut and Research Assistant at Columbia University Center for Climate Systems Research will present an introduction into GIS .

The talk will include a general overview of GIS (capabilities, everyday examples, key terminologies), basic use cases and important techniques, working examples, things for them to try out, and resources for them to learn more. She will focus on space/satellite-related datasets that could be relevant for the competition and provide context to show the importance of space in collecting the spatial data that makes up GIS.

Her topic would be an overview of GIS and thesis would be showing how space and GIS are intrinsically linked, such that by combining the two, we can identify and solve complex, large-scale problems on Earth. Her talk will give them the resources and basic skills to explore GIS and its relationship to space and problem-solving in greater depth.
