I hope that everyone has had a great break! With classes starting just around the corner I wanted to point out that Spatial@UNCP will be back up and running on a weekly basis (except for holidays of course) beginning January 14. Since I will be teaching GIS this semester many of the episodes will be playing double duty for the classroom and general info. With that in mind I will still try to limit the episodes to 5-6 minutes each.
If you ever have a topic you would like me to talk about on the podcast feel free to contact me.
Here is to an rewarding Spring 2010!

Geographic Information Science is the study of…you guessed it…geographic information. This week I touch on some of the history and focus of GIScience and it can help find out what is spatial and special.
