The first law of geography is that everything is related to everything else, but near things are more related than distant things. This year’s Ihaka Lectures are about geographic data – facts on maps. Drawing maps and analysing them used to require specialised resources. Modern computing has made maps accessible as a form of data analysis, but they still require expertise. We will hear from experts in reasoning with geographic data and in presenting it for a wider audience.

Lectures commence at 6.30pm, MLT2/303-102, Building 303, 38 Princes Street

Refreshments will be available before each lecture, at 6pm.
