Posted on Thursday, Feb 13, 2020
Show Notes
For today’s episode we have the pleasure to introduce to our listeners Barbara Hofer, who is Associate Professor at the University of Salzburg in the Department of Geoinformatics - the famous Z_GIS. Barbara was here in Tartu to give a course on Web Cartography with Leaflet. Barbara gives us some deeper insights into developing knowledge systems, the EO4GEO curriculum and about teaching Geoinformatics.
We also want to share around 5 or more recent interesting articles on GIS with every episode so that you and we have the idea on what kind of research is going on in the field of GIS:
