We invite participants to an Interdisciplinary Workshop on Geospatial Computing. The workshop is aimed broadly at bringing together disparate communities working with geospatial tools and data. We invite participants from academia (faculty, postdocs, grad students), industry (geospatial developers, data scientists, GIS analysts), and government to connect and share knowledge.
