Faculty members, students and professionals heard presentations about the fast evolving field, such as finding victims and mapping roads that are open in hurricanes or earthquakes, mapping algae blooms in Lake Erie, and helping farmers learn of insects or diseases in crops.

Dr. Katy Rossiter, ONU assistant professor of geography in the College of Arts and Sciences, and Dr. Jimmy Wilson, assistant professor of management and geography in the College of Business Administration, coordinated the day-long conference.
