Working Group leader: Erich Seamon

Group members: Bruce Godfrey, Claudio Berti, Paul Gessler, Raymond Dezzani, Jason Karl, Vincent Jansen, Marshall Ma, Luke Sheneman, Naveen Joseph, Alan Kolok, Daniel Cronan, Felix Liao, Jeff Hicke, Chao Fan

Schedule: TBD

Description:

The Geospatial Modeling (GM) Working Group will explore and propose platforms and methodologies for performing spatially-explicit modeling across landscape and watershed scales.  This working group will focus on the interactions of spatial patterns and human and ecological processes as well as enabling heterogeneous data and model interoperability.

Our goal is to build an active community around geospatial modeling in support of current and future IMCI projects, as needed.

Specific areas of interest:

-Climate associations with health
