News

At the Annual meeting of the Association of American Geographers in NYC, February 24-28 I presented on Predictive Crime Hotspot Mapping.

At the 1st International Geocoding Conference in Redlands, CA December 6-7, 2011 I gave two presentations. The first one on Error propagation models to examine the effects of geocoding quality on spatial analysis of individual-level datasets won 2nd place in the Best Paper competition. The second presentation was on Geographic masking of confidential geocoded datasets – this was a shorter version of the APHA talk listed below.

At the American Public Health Association 2011 Conference in Washington, DC October 29 – November 2, 2011 I gave a presentation on Validation of Masking Techniques for Location Privacy Protection of Individual-level Health Data.

At the Crime Mapping 2011 Conference in Miami, FL October 19-21, 2011 I gave workshops on Python Scripting for the Automation of Workflows in ArcGIS and Crime Hotspot Mapping and Analysis, as well as a presentation on Sex Offender Mobility and Residence Restrictions in Miami-Dade County, Florida.

At the Geomorphometry 2011 Conference in Redlands, CA I presented on Error Propagation Modeling for Terrain Analysis using Dynamic Simulation Tools in ArcGIS Modelbuilder. The paper was also published in the conference proceedings.

At the 2011 Esri International Users Conference in San Diego, CA  I gave two presentations. One on dasymetric mapping and one on predictive crime hotspot mapping.

With funding from LAII and RAC at UNM I spend much of the 2011 Summer in Brazil developing a new project on dengue fever. I gave a number of presentations at various universities and research institutes in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. My talks were covered by ENSP, Fiocruz, and Rio Contra Dengue,  as well as in the local media including Jornal do Brasil. I also gave a number of invited talks on geospatial privacy as covered by Fiocruz.
