Exploring high school biology students’ discussions of multi-genre texts
While expository texts are an efficient and dominant genre used by science teachers in the United States, they generally lack justification for their claims and fail to reflect science as practice. In contrast, epistemically considerate texts detail specific scientific experiments, providing the reader insight into the methods and data of a biological discovery. This multi-case exploratory comparison analysed videos of students in introductory an…
Approximating the Length of Vehicle Routing Problem Solutions Using Complementary Spatial Information
Accurately estimating the length of Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) distances can inform transportation planning in a wide variety of delivery and service provision contexts. This study extends the work of previous research where multiple linear regression models were used to estimate the average distance of VRP solutions with various customer demands and capacity constraints. This research expands on that approach in two ways: first, the point pat…
Quality Assessment and Accessibility Mapping in an Image-Based Geocrowdsourcing Testbed
Geocrowdsourcing is a significant new focus area in mapping for people with disabilities. It utilizes public data contributions that are difficult to capture with traditional mapping workflows. Along with the benefits of geocrowdsourcing are critical drawbacks, including reliability and accuracy. A geocrowdsourcing testbed has been designed to explore the dynamics of geocrowdsourcing and quality assessment and produce temporally relevant navigati…
Modeling Uncertainty in Digital Elevation Models
While digital elevation models (DEMs) are widely used to represent the earth's terrain, they are not free from error. Data errors in DEMs are likely to affect any application that uses them: a critical question is, by how much? This entry considers the nature and sources of error in digital elevation data. It describes statistical models that have been used to characterize elevation error distributions as random fields. These error models are cou…
Pedestrian network repair with spatial optimization models and geocrowdsourced data
Position Validation in Crowdsourced Accessibility Mapping
We live in a society in which instant gratification is expected: we demand constantly up-to-date information, which is reflected in our reliance on maps for navigation. Volunteered geographical information (VGI) and geocrowdsourcing make this demand attainable, with popular examples being Waze and OpenStreetMap, where maps are updated quickly by citizen contributors with current base data and features. At George Mason University (in Fairfax, Virg…
The Thorny British Question: Mrs Thatcher’s Bilateral Summitry from 1979-1984 and the Multilateral Issue of the British Budgetary Problem
In an era dominated by a web of institutionalised summitry, from the G20 to the European Council, the bilateral variant has been increasingly overlooked in the academic literature. This article seeks to rectify this situation by assessing the extent to which bilateral summits during the first five years of Mrs Thatcher’s premiership helped to solve the thorny issue of Britain’s net budgetary contribution to the European Community. In doing so, a …
On the map: American cartography in 2015
Maps have changed. The language of maps reflects a new discourse on adaptability, accessibility, and compatibility. The discipline of Cartography has been through a rapid transformation phase and i
Exploring alternative map products to enhance transportation option awareness
The steady increase in automotive vehicle usage in highly populated areas, leading to intensified traffic, suggests the need for new approaches to traffic management and commuting options. Maps as communication products might hold one key to unlocking guided alternative mode choices as standalone products and as service components. However, traditional paper and web-based maps might lack properties and affordances that will guide users to conside…
Geocrowdsourcing and accessibility for dynamic environments
Crowdsourcing techniques for augmenting traditional accessibility maps with transitory obstacle information
One of the most scrutinized contemporary techniques for geospatial data collection and production is crowdsourcing. This inverts the traditional top-down geospatial data production and distribution methods by emphasizing on the participation of the end user or community. The technique has been shown to be particularly useful in the domain of accessibility mapping, where it can augment traditional mapping methods and systems by providing informati…
Demarcating new boundaries: Mapping virtual polycentric communities through social media content
The proliferation of social media has led to the emergence of a new type of geospatial information that defies the conventions of authoritative or volunteered geographic information, yet can be harvested to reveal unique and dynamic information about people and their activities. In this paper we address the identification and mapping of global virtual communities formed around issues of specific national interest. We refer to these connected virt…
