GIS Mapping of mountain landscape

Hugh Keegan - a career employee at the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) in the US, was introduced to GIS concepts and software while a student intern at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the late 70’s. ESRI is a global leader in GIS and mapping applications. Hugh trained at the Harvard Graduate School of Design in Landscape Architecture, and worked at the Harvard Lab for Computer Graphics and Spatial Analysis for several years after graduation.  Joining ESRI in the early 80’s, he helped form the company’s Applications Prototype Lab, managing it for most of his career at ESRI. This group performs applied R&D work, mostly for NGOs, and has developed many hundreds of prototypes and applications for organizations.

All welcome to attend.
