There will be two presentations featured in this webinar:
Geospatial Dimensions of Energy Inefficiency and Equity
Dr. Marilyn Brown of Georgia Institute of Technology will discuss the geospatial
dimensions of energy inefficiencies that raise equity issues. She will explore what
spatial analytics reveals about the equity aspects of energy policies and
transitions.
Personal Location Masking as a Source of Geodata Bias
Dr. Dara Seidl of Globechalk Consulting will examine the introduction of bias in
geographic datasets that results from personal location masking. She will also
address what leads individuals to mask their locations and how these motivations are
evolving as widespread location collection gains more media attention.
A Q&A session will follow the two presentations.
