Article by Sue Nichols of Michigan State University

published in Springer Nature Research Communities: Earth and Environment, Computational Sciences, and Statistics

Sue Nichols' latest article explores how I-GUIDE has been harnessing the telecoupling framework to navigate the complexities of globalization. Read the article to learn how this approach has provided innovative solutions to pressing societal and environmental challenges at the intersection of human and natural systems and how I-GUIDE is positioned at the forefront of this transformative shift. Featuring insights from experts Jianguo “Jack” Liu, George Percivall, Shaowen Wang, and Mohan Ramamurthy.

This workshop will explore integrating computer science with geographic principles using a curriculum evaluation tool, addressing the challenges in educating across the diverse areas of cyberliteracy.

This two-day in-person workshop, aimed at mid-career geospatial professionals, will offer hands-on learning with the latest tools, individual feedback, and networking opportunities to integrate geospatial science into their careers, with all expenses covered for attendees.

The I-GUIDE Forum 2024 invites submissions for its conference on integrating AI, cyberinfrastructure, and geospatial sciences to address environmental sustainability challenges, featuring tracks on data-intensive sciences, geospatial AI, cyberGIS innovations, and inclusive education, with accepted papers published in proceedings and potential journal special issues.

The OGC Testbed-20 is working to drive innovation in geospatial data ecosystems through cutting-edge R&D. This initiative, sponsored by ESA, NASA, NGA, and the I-GUIDE consortium, offers a unique opportunity to shape the future of geospatial standards and technologies.

The OGC Testbed-20 call for participation is now open through June 10, 2024

Participate in collaborative efforts to enhance data integrity, provenance, and trust, and explore new standards and applications for geospatial intelligence and high-performance computing.

The latest cutting-edge research and publications

from the NSF I-GUIDE Project Team

This recent paper by authors from China Agricultural University, University of Leeds, Tarim University, and Michigan State University examines the potential global impacts of the Russia-Ukraine War on food systems and biodiversity, revealing that the conflict could lead to significant cropland expansion and increased biodiversity loss worldwide, particularly in the United States, Spain, France, India, and Brazil, under various war scenarios. The study underscores the urgency of integrating conflict considerations into biodiversity conservation strategies.
