Two Used Books

This week, I found two interesting used books.

While looking for brown bread at Bees Knees, I discovered David Suzuki’s The Sacred Balance: Rediscovering our Place in Nature. It was a revised edition. I recall reading the original years ago. This time, I forwarded it to Patrick in Peterborough, as a belated birthday present.

I finished the draft abstract for my talk for June’s CSRS conference in Halifax (see post 50 years of Remote Sensing and GIS at COGS). I continue to research and receive links on the use of AI and GIS.

Michael Goodchild, my graduate supervisor at UWO sent a link to a conference at UC Santa Barbara, last December, in part sponsored by Esri. Edward Wedler sent me another link via email, ‘Bayanat, Geospatial and AI’. For both Edward and myself, we wonder what is required to prepare COGS graduates in these new technologies.

Meanwhile, Heather and I had a micro-adventure on our property, snow-shoeing along the powerline and following the west property line — a good two hour work out on crusty snow.

Acknowledgements

Thanks to Michael Goodchild and Edward Wedler for forwarding the links between AI and GIS. Heather shared the micro-adventure snowshoeing.
