Call for faculty interest in summer 2012 GIS workshops at Bucknell (revised)

As we have for the past two summers, Bucknell’s LIT division will offer a series of summer workshops for faculty interested in hands-on instruction in GIS. Stipends of $400 will be offered to faculty for participating in each workshop. Please fill out this interest/registration form as soon as possible if you are interested in any of the following workshops.

Overview

1. Introductory GIS workshop (4 days, 4 hours per day) – no prerequisites
Monday, August 6th-Thursday, August 9th from 9am-1pm (lunch included)
2. Using ArcHydro for Water Resources Analysis (3 days, 8 hours per day)*
Monday, August 13th-Wednesday, August 15th from 9am-1pm (lunch included)
3. Spatial Statistics with ArcGIS and Geoda (2 days, 8 hours on 1st day, 4 hours on 2nd day)*
Thursday, August 16th from 9am-4pm and Friday, August 17th from 9am-1pm (lunch included)

Details – Spatial Statistics with ArcGIS & Geoda

The workshop ‘Spatial Statistics with ArcGIS and Geoda’ will be taught by Professor Jennifer Miller, Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography & Environment and Director of the GIScience Center at University of Texas at Austin. Below is a tentative outline of the 3-day workshop. Faculty will have an opportunity to work with their own data for part of the last day of the workshop.

Day 1: Introduction to Spatial analysis and Point pattern analysis

  • 1st order vs 2nd order effects (density vs. distance)
  • Nearest neighbor analysis, Ripley’s K statistics
  • Interpreting results (z-scores, Monte Carlo simulation)

Day 2: (Global) Spatial pattern measurement and modeling

  • Spatial autocorrelation analysis
  • Conceptualizing spatial relationships
  • Moran’s I, Getis-Ord General G statistic
  • OLS Regression
  • Model fittingModel diagnostics
  • Residual analysis

Day 3: (Local) Spatial pattern measurement and modeling

  • Local spatial autocorrelation analysis
  • LISA, Gi* (Geoda software)Mapping/interpreting results
  • Geographically weighted regression
  • Spatial non-stationary

Details – Using ArcHydro for Water Resources Analysis

The workshop ‘Using ArcHydro for Water Resources Analysis’ is tentatively scheduled to be taught by Professor Venkatesh Merwade, Assistant Professor in the School of Civil Engineering at Purdue University and Director of the Geospatial Water Resources Institute.  We are close to finalizing details on this workshop, so stay tuned for details on who will teach the workshop. Below is a tentative outline of the 3-day workshop. Faculty will have an opportunity to work with their own data for part of the workshop.

  • ArcGIS Skills Review
  • Integrating Geospatial and Temporal Datasets for Hydrology
  • Raster and Vector Data in Hydrology
  • Terrain Analysis in ArcGIS (Hydrology Tools)
  • Terrain Processing Using ArcHydro
  • Developing SCS Curve Number Grid
  • HEC-GeoHMS Application
  • HEC-HMS Application
  • HEC GeoRAS Application
  • HEC-RAS Application
  • Building ArcHydro Network using NHD
  • Groundwater Tools in ArcGIS

Janine Glathar joined the Digital Pedagogy & Scholarship team in 2009 to fill the newly-created role of GIS Specialist at Bucknell. She has worked in the field of geospatial technologies for more than 15 years as research specialist, technical analyst and software trainer. Prior to joining L&IT at Bucknell, Janine spent seven years doing applied GIS research in Philadelphia’s non-profit social services sector as the GIS Senior Analyst for Philadelphia Safe & Sound and the Greater Philadelphia Urban Affairs Coalition. Before transitioning to the social services research world, Janine worked for the GIS software company ESRI as a trainer and education/non-profit coordinator. She earned a B.A. in European History and Russian Language/Literature at the University of Pennsylvania. If you ask Janine where she’s from, she’ll tell you she’s a Navy brat and will probably offer to show you a map of all of the various places she’s lived over the years.
