Summary and Final Tasks

This week, we have explored the 9.28.2018 Sulawesi Earthquake and Tsunami and the many ways in which geospatial approaches were used to respond and recover from this disaster. The magnitude of the disaster means that for the next several years, GIS and related technologies will continue to have a role in the long-term recovery of the region, and we can already see in subsequent disasters (like the many USA storms in 2018) that the expectations for GIS outputs continue to evolve at a rapid pace.

Next, we will begin the final lesson for this course. We will devote our attention to the term projects you have been working on throughout the semester. You will submit your final term project assignment materials and participate in a mini-conference to share your findings with your classmates.
