ADVAL - Alaska Data Visualization & Analysis LabView Photo of Award Presentation View Interactive Map of SAG Winners 2001Greater understanding, thoughtful decisions, a sustainable future for Alaska. Geographic information science allows us to answer scientific and societal questions and changes research, education and public service for the better.
Business Problem Geographically remote, yet increasingly an area of international concern, Alaska is a dynamic natural environment and home to a diversity of human cultures. Many national and international research and operational programs center on learning about and understanding the high-latitude region. Other studies strive to understand the inter-dependencies between this area and the global system. Alaska also searches for the best answers and balance between long-term, sustainable economic development and the protection of the natural environment in a culturally diverse community. At the University of Alaska we are bringing the power of geographic information science to address these issues through research, education and public service. Technology Implemented We use the broad-spectrum of spatial data science technology in building our solutions: the full suite of ArcGIS, remote sensing/image processing from aerial platforms to real-time satellite data reception, geomatics, spatial statistics, super computer visualization techniques, information science and spatial data system development, computer science and mass storage capabilities. Development Team Shari George, Carl Byers, Cherie Northon Development Team Biography Shari George manages the Alaska Data Visualization & Analysis Laboratory at the University of Alaska Fairbanks that provides GIS and remote sensing research and education services. She also helps manage AVHRR and MODIS real-time receiving stations.
