It is entirely free for participants and attendants. MapTalk will consist of short 5-10 minute presentations followed by a Q&amp;A period with the participants.The goal of MapTalk is to provide students with an opportunity to present and share their summer project with a wider audience and for the audience to learn something from one of the many companies and nonprofits that support fellowships and internships.Why should you attend MapTalk?<ul><li>Free and easy to login for just the talks that look interesting to you</li><li>Learn something new about geospatial tools or applications</li></ul><h2>Schedule for the event:</h2>12:00 ET - Introductions and about MapTalk, Azavea and Summer of Maps12:10 - 12:40 - Sustainability<ul><li>Tracking UN Sustainable Development Goal Indicators with OpenStreetMap: Open Space in American Cities by Eugene Chong</li><li>SDGs Today: Mapping Real-time Sustainable Development Goals Data by Maggie Smith and Rebecca Gorin</li><li>Rain or Shine: Impact of weather and calendar events on spatial-temporal changes in bike sharing trips in London by Tan Li Ming</li></ul>12:40 - 1:10 - Environment &amp; Wildlife<ul><li>A Glimpse into the U.S.-Mexico Border Wall&#x27;s Disastrous Impact on Wildlife by Evelyn Gorey</li><li>Beluga StoryMap by Olivia Lewis</li><li>Nine Mile Run Environmental Equity Study by Aaron Birdy</li></ul>1:10 - 1:40 - Urban &amp; Rural Places<ul><li>Visualizing the Influence of a Land-Value-Tax by Kevin Frech</li><li>Using GIS to Guide Philly&#x27;s First Neighborhood-Level Forestry Plan by Evelyn Gorey</li><li>Pennsylvania Farmworker Project: Exposing Isolation to Immigrant Farmworkers by Matt Simkus</li><li>a heavy curved incisor : speculative hydrology and mid-century ivory by Rebecca Tanda</li></ul>1:40 - 2:00 - Geospatial Statistics<ul><li>Selecting a Grid Cell Size for Analyzing Spatial Point Patterns: Gun Crimes in Baltimore by Eugene Chong</li><li>Grid Analysis for Geospatial Data by José Luis Olarte</li><li>Evaluating Remote Sensing Indicators and Classification Methods for Gypsy Moth Defoliation by Emily Evenden</li></ul>---------MapTalk is sponsored by<a href="https://www.summerofmaps.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> Azavea Summer of Maps</a> and will feature presentations from their projects alongside other student geospatial projects from around the world.---------<a href="https://zoom.us/j/95215007750?pwd=M3gzcjcyMWFoNUIySk9xMGxGTWprdz09" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://zoom.us/j/95215007750?pwd=M3gzcjcyMWFoNUIySk9xMGxGTWprdz09</a>
