GIS and GEOINT graduates gathered to spotlight projects ranging from spatial analysis to geospatial intelligence.
On Nov. 18 and 20, MS students in both GIS and GEOINT participated in online lightning talks or poster sessions presented their research and design projects. These highly anticipated events are the final step for graduates to earn their MS degree. Projects highlighted applications of GIS, spatial analysis, modeling, remote sensing, web app development, and geospatial intelligence across a wide range of topics and disciplines.
The in-person poster session was attended by students’ mentors, GEOG faculty and staff, fellow students, as well as family and friends joining to celebrate their work.
