Speaker: David Mark, SUNY distinguished professor emeritus, director emeritus of the National Center for Geographic Information and Analysis

David Mark is a pioneer of the field of Geographic Information Science. Throughout his career, his research interests have focused on how geographic phenomena can best be represented on computers. This focus has taken him from digital elevation models to cognitive geography, wayfinding and navigation, and geographic ontology. Since 2002, his focus has been on cultural and linguistic differences in human conceptualization of landscape and its features. He is one of the founders of an emerging interdisciplinary field called Ethnophysiography.
